Okay, so the reason I've bought the Cybook is because I can't be carrying p-books around during my 18-month bicycle tour from Alaska to Argentina that I'm starting next year. For the same reason, I can't be playing around with conversions. As a software developer I'm perfectly capable, but won't have the resources. I just want to read books, not faff around with them. That's why I was so hopeful about the Kindle Store.
