I'd say two separate reasons... First, and most important, I don't know how. Second, even if I knew how, I'm not sure if I want to spend my time messing with it. (I'm still failing to understand why DRM is necessary - the music industry seems to have gotten along without it and there are publishers and authors who get along without it.)
What I did end up doing was buying a Kindle 2nd edition (no backlight) and a cover for it at Barnes and Noble last night - they are available on closeout at some stores. ($80 for both including tax.) I've uploaded all my Baen books to it. Today I'll load the Harry Potter collection on it, then try to scrape together all my files from Gutenberg etc.
Eventually I'll replace the battery on my 650 and delete all the files I've duplicated onto my new Nook, leaving only the proprietary stuff on there. I wish there were some way to check what items (if any at all) wouldn't migrate.
And I still want to get an iPad Air, but that'll have to wait awhile. I am happy with still haveing e-Ink, though.
