Interesting talk. I'm curious why they don't begin with LaTeX and try to make a stripped down version which might render quicker. Or reflow the PDFs before downloading it to the ebook reader. i.e. \documentclass[ebook]{book}.
When you asked a question about "who will put the heavy weights", I thought it could be an external service. If you download a document and want to read it on a eBook reader, you not just download it, but get it passed through a "compilation" for your particular device.
Not all endeavors need to be about profiteering when the inherent focus is on seamless capabilities within the realm of data/information sharing; a benevolent platform is laid for endless possibilities to capitalize on. The open source culture can serve as a relevant precedent.

Nice, but I think I might've heard this somewhere before.

You have to be an Apple customer to be so vacuous.
