Bumping an old thread, I know. I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this, but want to review.
Specifically, a book from the Sony Connect store is $17.46. The "Kindle Edition" of the same book is available at Amazon for $7.99. I'd obviously prefer to purchase the cheaper version.
I understand that a "Kindle Edition" is a DRM'd Mobi book. I understand there is a mobiDeDRM tool, though finding it and using it is a personal decision etc. That will produce a non-DRM Mobi book. And there are tools, including libprs500, that will convert the mobi edition to LRF.
Is that essentially correct?
In other words I want to confirm that there is a conversion path from Kindle to LRF.
[EDIT]I'm assuming you can buy a Kindle Edition without having a Kindle. This looks like a bad assumption, though... I don't see a buy and download to your PC option on Amazon. You can only purchase via Whispernet.
I emailed Sony Support about the price disparity. I also pray for world peace.
