What do you need to clear up? Most ePub DRMs can be easily stripped. That will allow Sony and B&N books to be converted. Many other formats can also be stripped of DRM. Calibre can easily convert most eBook formats to MOBI, and they look great. You can either use Calibre to send your books to the K DXG or you can simply drag and drop them yourself.

As a new owner of the K DXG and a former or current owner of every Sony Reader (except the old 500) and some other readers as well, I can definitely state that the K DXG does indeed blow all of them out of the water! No question in my mind that this is the clearest e-Ink screen I've ever seen and has the darkest text. Plus it is easy to modify for custom fonts. I use Arial Rounded MT Bold and it is easy to read even in dim light.
