I've seen the same thing suggested right here on MR ... no doubt some will choose that path. Others will choose to "liberate" the books they have acquired so they can be converted and used on the preferred platform. Still others will choose to simply not buy/read those books not available on their preferred platform.
In many ways I think the folks in the last category are the ones with the correct strategy because it signals the authors and publishers as to which platform we will support. We've been here before: Beta vs VHS and Blu-Ray vs HD-DVD being just two examples. Eventually there was only one left standing.
Its only too bad that DRM may be the driver for that market force.
