So when there is a true lossless ebook converter, we should convert our old formats - agreed. My experience is that the ebook converters are not yet 'lossless'.

Todays converters tend to be more like a lossy mp3 converter rather than Flac.

And should I choose flac or APE or WMA lossless as my archival format? It all comes down to personal preference and for some people at least the best option may be to retain the original CD and convert only when necessary.
