And for the Sony Reader PRS-505, it is a lot easier to use lit2lrf (part of librs500) to convert MS Reader format to LRF then it is to convert MS Reader to Mobi format. So if you want books without DRM, then I would suggest the 505 as content creation from purchased LIT cannot be easier. And removing the DRM from LIT would be the same process no matter which device you got be it the 505 or Gen3. Also, if the books you purchase have illustraions or photos, you will find that the versions in LIT will have larger sized pictures then the mobi versions. So once you have the LIT convertefd to LRF, the ones that have photos/illustrations will give you a better reading experience. Take some SF books, they have maps and the maps will be more readable on the 505 then the Gen3. If the graphics in the LIT are not jpeg, you will have to convert them to jpeg and reinsert them into the book. It's just a lot easier to use lit2lrf. It's a simple process and all is done for you.
