I am also sad to see Sony abandoning us. The Kobo site is not as user friendly, they seem to have sorted their books into fewer categories, the prices are higher and I understand there is a 3% foreign transaction surcharge for those of us who do not live in Canada.

I will convert my account when the time comes, and download the Kobo ap for our phones and tablets. I have just bought a Kindle PW, and will be using that for new purchases. I am pretty sure my Calibre software will allow me to convert all of the non-DRM protected epubs I have in my library to the Kindle format.

My PRS 600 and PRS 300 are still hanging in there pretty well, and I have a PRS T1 that is almost new. I will still be able to read my Sony DRM protected content for a long time before needing to buy a Kobo.

I agree with our friend Plumadona: Sony let the leading edge slip through their fingers. It is too bad.
