Think of the majority of older adults. They won't be doing the DRM stripping and converting just to get library eBooks on a Kindle. This is not a Kindle vs Sony debate. I just feel that for most people out there that want access to library eBooks who do not deal with DRM & conversion, the Kindle is not a good fit.

For most of us on MR, it's not an issue. And yes, it is easy and fast enough to do. But we are not like most people who do not strip & convert.
and it is still disingenuous to give a flat "NO" answer when people ask if it is possible. it is not up to you to interpret their skills or interest.

I find it best to let individual device users answer questions regarding the devices that they own and use everyday. I would never dream of answering Sony questions. I think there are now enough Kindle users that we can handle the Kindle forum quite nicely
