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. |
Thats the thing the sony bookstore section is complete crap!!
I'm using my reader for computer certifications....CCNA,CCNP, MCSE just to name a few. Try to find any of these book in the sony bookstore. Yet they are ready available on ebooks.com.
Hell I don't mind converting to RTF since its easy to convert but then I lose the images that reinforce the the text.
As for someone posting that we are early adopters.....right!!!!...the sony reader has been out since 2006 and its 2008 now and I'm suppost to be all smiles that they are just now coming out with a standard format that possibly will not work with a first gen reader.
