But to be honest, with BBeB, it's stuck to a Sony Reader. ePub goes with you to any other reader except a Kindle.
I am not stuck with Sony with BBeB as there is always Calibre. But I still hate ePub and I sincerely hope that the new reader will handle it. If it does not, then I am highly unlikely to buy one.
