This is a question that I have also pondered.
At the moment, I deliberately avoid getting material in formats that X1 cannot handle. But that is going to become harder.
I already have subscriptions to journals (Science, for example, and some IEEE publications) that I can also get as Zinio, zno, files. (Effectively a protected PDF file.) I have never been a fan of that format, partly because of the accessibility problem.
They all seem to demand their own viewers. If X1 can connect to installed viewers and iFilters, fine. I will install the software. But I do not want to have to individually index and search every format.
I sometimes print to PDF for odd formats, but this is not really a viable long-term option.
