Don't get me wrong, I know it's nothing but queing up the conversions in Calibre, which sure I can do overnight. Nor is disk space an issue.
It's more becuase I'm a creature of habit, and changing from epub to mobi scares me ( :P ), as well as the fact that I have zero experience with Kindles. I'm relatively proficient with Kobo, having helped several co workers figure out the ins and outs of theirs, but no one I know has ever bought a Kindle.
Also, unless I'm mistaken, (which I likely am, not knowing about the newer Kindles) the Kindles have always had a lousy bookshelves or collections setup, which the Sony software excelled with. I'd rather not give up on my on device browsing via collections.
In all honesty, should I need to replace my 650 with another dedicated ereader, I'm sure I'll just find a T3 somewhere. They'll be kicking around in stores here in Canada for a while yet. I'm still seeing T1's here and there, so I'm not too too worried that they'll disappear overnight.
