I'm also a newbie - to all ereaders -- and I have a Sony 505 on its way. Tech issues generally sound foreign to me, so please excuse me if my questions sound stupid. I was fully prepared to use sites like fictionwise to buy my books for use on the Sony so I didn't have to rely only on the Sony store for new releases; I thought I'd follow instructions from boards such as this and convert either mobipocket or microsoft reader files into something readable for the 505. But does such conversion necessarily strips the DRM protection of the ebook that I buy? If so, the DMCA prohibits it, right? Is there a way to convert one format into another without stripping the DRM?
