Pajaman, I am aware that this is a good and important consideration (especially considering Amazon's sometimes less-than-ideal approach to ownership of electronic books), however, one of the reasons I am looking for a Kindle-based device is that I have, so far, been too lazy to liberate the 500+ books I have bought from Amazon.

I once, some years ago, tried to use Calibre to convert the books I was reading at that time, to have backups, but I found it to be a huge hassle and stopped after about 50 books. So far, I have been hoping that I will not run afoul of Amazon's policies...
