Is there anyway I can convert them so that I can make them into non-secure pdf's or convert them to mobi files so that I can read them on my Cybook?
If not, is it likely there will be a convert process in the future?
Is it likely Cybook maybe open Adobe Digital format in a future release?
When you purchase Adobe ePub or PDF, they will be chock full of yummy DRM. You cannot convert either to anything you can use on a Gen3. As of right now, the only units that can read those would be the Sony PRS-505 and Sony PRS-700. So even if you didn't purchase ePub by mistake, the DRM laden PDF would still have done you no good.
