I am like gwynevans, I have three (actually more if you count a several of laptops, netbooks and UMPCs), my phone, a Sony PRS505, a jetBook, and a Nokia N800. There is no single format that will work on all of them.

When I lay my money down, I expect to have the right to read MY book on any and all of the devices that I own. So I buy Mobi formatted books, strip the DRM, convert them to the appropriate format(s), and load them on all of the devices that I want to read them on.

Am I violating copyright laws? I don't know, but as long as I don't redistribute the books en mass, I don't have any moral dilemmas with it. Now if there was just a convenient way to keep them synchronized!
