Thank you for these very useful answers.
One (last, I hope) question, if you can bear with me: I understand that if I'm willing to remove the drm from commercial ebooks I can do this for the mobipocket and ereader formats, and then read these books on any reading device (after converting).
Is this also true for, for instance, the epub format used by the sony devices? If not then it looks like mobipocket will be one of my main sources for ebooks, whichever devide I buy, so I'd better buy a device that natively supports it (the choice of a device supporting mobipocket is easy for me, since the Hanlin seems not to be sold in France and the Iliad/Digital reader are too large and too expensive for my purpose, this leaves me with the Cybook).
