When I finish a book, I never re-read it so never did click on that link in the email. Sony eBooks have bit the dust. Hopefully, Amazon will last much longer (at least longer than my limited remaining life span).

I certainly do NOT want to set up a new account at Kobo since I buy all my eBooks from Amazon these days.

For those, who did not receive the email yet, here is what it said:

"Dear Reader Store Customer,

On March 20, 2014, Sony's Reader Store closed and we are now transferring customers to Kobo, where you can continue to access and read the eBooks you purchased from Reader Store.

We are fully committed to helping you through this exciting transition to Kobo. With the Kobo Store, you'll have more than 4 million of the world's best eBooks, magazines, comics, and kids' titles at your fingertips."

[Information and a link to one's personal eBook transfer instructions]

"You'll then see a list of all of your eBooks that transferred from Sony to Kobo.

Remember, as long as you complete this process by May 31, 2014, any remaining Reader Store credits you have in your account will also transfer to your Kobo account. Sony's Reader for PC/MAC software has been updated to link directly to the Kobo Store. You will now be able to purchase, download, read and transfer Kobo eBooks to your Sony Reader via USB. An initial update for the PRS-T1, PRS-T2 and PRS-T3 Reader devices is expected in April, with additional purchase functionality coming in late May.

This will be the last communication from Sony regarding the transfer to Kobo. In the future, you may receive reminder notices from Kobo to transfer your library if you haven't completed the process. You may opt out of the Kobo service messages at any time.

Should you encounter any issues with this process or have any additional questions, please see Kobo's FAQ here or contact Kobo's customer support department. Click here for their contact information.

Thank you for reading with us! It has been our pleasure to have you in our reading community.

Sincerely,

The Reader Store Team"
