I do wonder how long the email conversion service will last. Seems like Amazon could open themselves up to copyright infringement claims if they are sent copyrighted material (such as blogs) for conversion. This is probably part of the reason for the limitation to personal, non-commercial works.

Well, in this case (a PRC file) there's no conversion needeed. They might charge you, but it'll be for the cost of delivering the file through EVDO.
Amazon will have to keep the conversion service running somehow. They already received bad press for their lack of support for a large number of formats (PDF for example), if they remove this service it'll be even worse. They could potentially identify copyrighted materials, but they would need a lot of extra ressources and a very good database. Not sure that they could do this.
