What kind of BB do you have?
You can also install Mobipocket on your BB phone. They are the creator of the MOBI/PRC format and can read offline. There are tons of books here on MobielRead in MOBI format and is the most popular format in the states second only to PDFs.

TRUE/FALSE (well kind of)

Q With the K2 one can't use ebook lending libraries.
A. Officially No, but there are DRM removal and/or Modifiers to allow this.

Q) 2. Most Amazon Kindle books can be converted to a format that the PRS 505 can read, so one doesn't have to have a Kindle to take advantage of the low prices.

A) Amz extensions are mobi format and can be shifted only after DRM is removed, the PRS-505 only reads PDF/LRF/ePUB. Tpz format cannot be converted and have no know circumvention.

Q) 3. B&N ebooks can't be converted to other formats.
A) False: B&N are eReader formats, after DRM is removed you can use Calibre 6.0 to convert them

Q) 4. Shortcovers ebooks can't be converted to other formats.
A) True: you can only read their books online. I strongly dislike shortcover as there is no positive with their product. This product has the record for the shortest time installed on my phone. Having to be connected to read is a pain what happens if your reading while traveling and you hit a no coverage zone.
