I'm not at all confident that Sony will still be in the eBook business in 10 years. Yes, files can of course be converted, but if you have a large collection of eBooks, having to reconvert them all to a different format is a lot of work.
And, as has been discussed on another thread, MobiPocket format is easy to "undo" back to HTML. So far, I've not been as successful in recovering anything close to the original HTML from a Sony file.
