I'm curious about something here. If you want to read your books on a new PC, do you have to somehow reauthorize the book? I'm just curious what happens if Sony stops supporting their ebook store and no one has found a way to strip the DRM. Just like our reading devices, computers don't last forever. I don't have a Sony so I'm pretty unfamiliar with their software.

That said, I'm glad I have the ability to preserve my Amazon books as .mobi files but I did make my buying decision before you could remove the DRM. I don't re-read books generally so it wasn't a big deal to me. I'm against these kinds of DRM as a fairness issue, though. My husband does reread so the fact that we could save his books without DRM was a big incentive for him to get one months later.
