Call me dense but have you tried buying books for SONY at
http://ebookstore.sony.com/

I'm sure you will not have to convert ANY of their books for your PRS-500.


So far every eInk vendor out there that owns their own ebook format has handcuffed their device to their eBooks. (e.g. Fictionwise, Kindle ) I can't fault SONY for the same, it's good business.
What you must give SONY credit is for opening their reader and their LRF format. So that if the need arose it is easy to convert to the SONY format.
