Sound familiar, Wolf?

Where you buy your eBooks is up to you. But the way I look at it, the more eBook stores anamardoll can get her eBook into (without being a Smashwords copy), the better as I'm pretty confident that she'll format it nicely herself and Smashwords would just mangle that.
As for your not buying the same format eBooks as I do, that blame goes to Mobipocket. They had this policy in place that said that in order be used in a dedicated reading device, they had to be the only format with DRM. Sony originally wanted to go with Mobipocket (before they went with ePub). But in order for that to happen, Sony would have had to have remove support for LRX (LRF with DRM). And that would have been a poor business choice back then. So, Sony went with ADE/ePub since Adobe didn't have any such restrictions. If Sony was allowed to use Mobipocket on the 505, I do think that Mobipocket would be the #1 format today.
