Hi all,

I've been reading topics here and there on this forum, and have finally decided to become a member of this excellent community of avid readers.

Anyhow, I currently have a Kobo eReader, and was thinking of returning it in favor of getting the newly announced K3 (mostly because of the better screen contrast, and improved battery life).

However, I've seen it mentioned numerous places that people stay away from the Kindle simply because of there is no .epub compatibility. Why is this considered an issue? Can't you simply convert from .epub to .mobi? Is there some risk of formatting issues not carrying over?
