New to Sony Reader - Best Approach

Hi all,

My Sony Reader is still on it's way, but I've been reading up in preparation.

Can someone confirm that the approach I've taken is optimal, based on a one-off experiment :-

1. Joined Fictionwise, bought some Micropay credits, and bought one of the range of Star Trek books, which will be my main reading material for awhile, as I've read the whole series in paper format until 2 years ago, and need to catchup with the last 2 years releases

2. Available in E-Reader, Mobipocket, Microsoft, or Adobe. Chose Mobipocket as the most widely supported format, for the future

3. Downloaded some well hidden obscure scripts, and with slippery ease of a Python, had the book freed from it's chains

4. Imported into Calibre, edited the Metadata, browsed for the Cover, and converted to LRF, used all settings as default.

5. Viewed fine in Calibre, so hoping this will be easy to transfer to my Reader when it arrives.

It all seemed very straightforward, so question is, is Mobipocket the best format based on the formats mentioned above, and is there anything I'm missing, as regards the simple process above for when I start with the actual reader device in earnest.

Thanks in advance for any advice, here
