Well, that's kind of the way I think I see it. I do see a lot of fanatics here who own different types of readers, one for each type of format, but I 'think' I can handle any format I need to on the Kindle. I don't collect large batches of books -- only what I can read or maybe what's on special sale -- so converting individual books to MOBI format isn't really a problem, and the DRM shouldn't be an issue for me, either.
The reason I posted the question is because, after all my research, I have never used any of the other popular readers and wasn't sure how the hands-on experience might make a difference, if any.
Thanks for taking the time to respond. This is a great group of readers!
