Actually, you'd be better off with screen shots of the 650 and the K3 so you can see how they compare since both use the new Pearl screens.

IF I decide to go with K3... can I move all the books I have purchased from Sony over to the K3??? Is there a software solution that would allow me to do that?

Oh yes. You need to remove the DRM and then convert the EPUB ebooks to MOBI using Calibre.

If you have purchased drm-free books from Sony (probably epubs) then Calibre can do a pretty good conversion of those to the mobi format, which Calibre can transfer to your Kindle.

If you have purchased books with drm (Sony uses Adobe DRM), then Calibre can only convert those books once you have stripped the drm using other solutions available on the net (search google for apprenticealf as your starting point).

If drm stripping is not for you, then stick with a reader that handles Adobe drm (ADE).

In other words, if you cannot or do not want to strip DRM, get a Sony.

Not afraid to strip... still waiting to see the new Sony in the flesh, but the K3 is sounding more and more like a great deal...

But, if you go with a Sony, you'll have all your eBooks in ePub. if you go K3, you'll have all your eBooks in Mobipocket (with a different DRM).

Now, let's say you want a reader from Pocketbook and not a Sony or a K3. Which reader will have been the better choice. Why the Sony since all your eBook will be compatible without the need to convert to ePub. Sure you may have converted some already to ePub, but all the eBooks you have will be ePub and ready to go on a different reader.

Now, if you didn't know about DRM and stripping/converting, you be well and truly locked in with a K3.

Thumbs up
It would be easier to decide if I wasn't such a sucker for Sony design/style...

Thank you Jon!
