I'm thinking if Sony left the market, someone would figure out how to strip the DRM and create an easy way to convert ot some other format.

If you choose formats like LIT and Mobi, those can easily be converted to other reading platforms, but I'm certain that the overwhelming majority of Sony owners only buy their eBooks from "official" sources such as the Sony eBook store. We, in this forum, who are happy to do format conversions, don't represent the "typical" owner by any stretch of the imagination.
I have to agree. The average person would not be converting content and would be purchasing from Sony. However, if the reader died, the content could still be read on a computer. Maybe we can get FBReader to add LRF support.
