Hello, Kobo

Wired has a neat story about kobo, a new eBook store that sells books in the ePub format. The short version? Kobo is betting on an open eBook format that works on multiple platforms where Amazon is not. Books bought here work on a whole list of devices that the Kindle is missing from. But Stanza, an app I've mentioned here before, can read DRM-free ePub eBooks and can export into the Amazon format. Is it more work? Yup. Is it worth it? Depends on the book, your device, and the stance you take.
