Do most readers us proprietary formats?  I think that the
adoption of an open standard for eBooks would be good for
everyone involved.  It would be greate for the buyer if
they could purchase from anyone's library and still be
able to read the book on their own reader.  It would be
arguably better for the companies, in that it would increase
potential consumer base all around.

I know most companies don't look at it that way though. :/
