I continue to encourage libraries to think about business models that wouldn't be quite so reliant on DRM. That would vastly speed up the adoption of ePUB, which would be good for Adobe and the entire e-book industry, Amazon included. Thanks. David Jim, many thanks for your comments.

Also given the current publishing landscape, file format is secondary to DRM systems used in determining how to offer content for sale.
