This is actually why my first reader was a Nook. I vowed I wouldn't buy an eReader unless I could easily (i.e., without conversion of my library) move to a different device down the line.
I do really wish someone -- the government?? -- would step in and lay down some transference rules. I would like to be able to move my entire Nook library to the Kobo servers, or vice versa. If they sell all the same books, it should be relatively trivial to transfer my license, but as it currently stands, it's not.
