Harry, I'm new to ebooks so I may be asking something truly stupid, but can I convert the Mobi format for use on my Sony 505? Or is it already usable?

Isn't there a relationship between Amazon and Mobi? If Mobi is the de facto standard, what will be the advantage to Sony of the Adobe format rather than adopting the Mobi format? I was under the impression that the big wait in the ebook world was for the Adobe final standard.
