Since I have purchased my Sony 505 Reader, I have purchased ALL my books from the Sony store. I only buy 2 books at a time to read. Actually, most of my reading is on my 24" HD LCD Monitor using Sony eBook Library. I only do supplementary reading on the 505 when away from my house for some reason.
I only read non-fiction political and historical works with occasional historical fiction. I have found far more books I like in the Sony store than I ever did at the MS Reader sites.
I would never convert an MS Reader book to Sony if I did find one I like. I would read it in MS Reader. I read all my PDF files using Adobe Reader 8.
I believe Sony is way ahead of Amazon here. Their Kindle books can NOT be read on a PC. Readers like me will never buy the Kindle in its present configuration. I far prefer my PC for reading everything to any offline Reader. I read all my magazines using Zinio Reader on my PC. Nothing beats that for magazines with all the Internet links intact and accessible while one reads them.
In fact, if my Sony 505 ever broke, I'd continue to read my books from the Sony store using their eBook Library.
