I think your only option is the Sony PRS-505. The good part about this is that the PRS-505 is supposed to get a software upgrade that includes Adobe Digital Editions, and this will most likely allow it to read your existing Adobe e-books (but don't hold your breath, there is no delivery date for this software and it may be months away). The bad part is that you will have to convert almost all ebooks before reading them on the Sony. The
calibre package will do this for you (it has its own Forum here). The MobiPocket format is not a bad choice, but the best option if your primary device does not support MOBI is the MS Reader format (LIT). This is easily crackable, and Calibre has a lit2lrf option.
