As such, the only possible ebooks that can be bought would be ebooks such as mobipocket.com etc. I was wondering if it was possible to convert the format of those ebooks bought from external website other than amazon and sony and be used on the kindle or sony reader.

Thanks for all the help..

Mobi works fine on the Kindle anyway. You just have totake care to buy books not hanicapped by DRM.

Calibre converts Mobipocket books to LRF and Epub and both of these formats are supported by the Sony 505.
