Amazon specifically, may also consider supporting ePub. They're starting to look like a Windows media-only playing music device...
That's one thing we can agree on. There's a lot of content out there that I'd love for my wife to be able to get on her Kindle
That wouldn't help, until stakeholders agree on interoperable DRM scheme (or get rid of DRM entirely), which I don't think is likely in the short term. DRM-free ePub content is already relatively easy to put on Kindle, using either Amazon's own conversion service or one of several good free conversion utilities.
Are you certain about this? I'm almost positive you can't convert epub using Amazon's service. I believe there's something you can install on the Kindle from a third party developer that converts un-DRM'd epub on the fly, but I wasn't aware of any official means to do so.
I stand corrected - Amazon conversion service indeed supports only HTML, DOC and PDF. I use
Calibre. Still, the main interoperability problem is DRM, not formats by themselves.
