If you look in the lounge, there is a tool available to remove the eReader DRM and decode the files to HTML (which can then be converted to the mobi format readable by the Kindle). Of course, the usual disclaimer about legality of using such a tool must be made.

I did lots of reading in ereader on both my Palm devices and, later, my MotoQ: I have some 50+ books in ereader format. None are readable on the Kindle. Moreover, if you do switch, you have to coordinate the two devices. Of course, you could be reading different things on each: I, however, cannot switch from one to the other because of, say, lighting conditions, leave off what I was reading on the Kindle and start with other matter on the MotoQ. So how do you manage? Like you, I don't want to have to buy the book twice but, just so you know, when I was presented with the Kindle in December, I was reading The Best and the Brightest, a DRM'ed book, in ereader on my MotoQ. I could not simply stop, so I bought it again for the Kindle. So I hope you turn publishers' heads in the right direction, and make them issue multi-eformatted books.
