Interesting article. So, if books are already available in the .epub format (which I think they are,) can they be read on the Sony or does there need to be some way to convert them?

I think I'm just finding this whole proliferation of eBook formats to be a bit mind numbing and I'm so frustrated with the way Sony's Connect handles their billing, that I really want to find some other source for current books, and I'm not finding much of what I want in places like FictionWise's Multiformat section, so I'm hoping something will come along. In some ways I wish I'd taken more time and maybe gotten a different reader - maybe one that deals in Mobipocket, since that seems to be the most popular. I got the files and such for the de-DRMing script to convert some DRM'd books to a readable format, but I'm apparently nowhere geeky enough to figure out how to get it tor work, the only instructions I've found don't make sense, and and the forums here - appropriately and understandably - don't allow discussing how to find it or get it to work, so I'm just kind of adrift at the moment. Oh well. I've got a bunch of stuff now saved up to read - maybe by the time I'm done with all that something may change
