It is a hassle, I simply can't be bothered to convert those books from proprietary to standard format.

Epub might be the answer to several prayers, but it has, in my view, a very important shortcoming, no dictionary support. I always convert epub to mobi in order to use a dictionary. A built in dictionary is very convenient when your native language is different from English.
I would pay handsomely for an English-Danish dictionary, but Kindle's English-English is certainly a big help.
