What you paid for is DRM that cannot be stripped. You paid for headers that waste screen space and have no real use. You paid for margins that are way too small with a base font that is way too small and when you set the font size to medium, you get many lines with wide gaps between the words. Also you get page numbers that change when you change the font size. In English, you get a mess.
That's fine. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. IMO, DRM is preventing me from reading what I paid for.

But before Sony added ADE to the 505, all you had was BBeB. Yes, you could go ePub or LRX after Sony added ADE and the publishers started selling in ePub.

If you had a choice of LRX or ePub depended when you bought the LRX and if the publisher had an ePub edition at the time you bought the LRX.

So I'm not sure if we can say if you had a choice or not.
I was being conservative because you seemed certain. Since other posts seem to agree with my memory, The apology seems to be unnecessary ; You were wrong.
