This has been a really useful conversation. Thanks all. I have downloaded most formats as at different times I have read my books on computer, phone, PDA and my BeBook (the love of my life). How to use all those different formats on my BeBook has been a puzzle and I have even thought of buying a second reader that uses a different format - but not Kindle as I am in Australia. My other major fear has been that I have begun replacing my 10 bookcases (hear my husband cheer - whole rooms will become available - the local library is loving the donations too) with ebooks and the thought that they will become unuseable has been making me fill quite ill. I too am happy to pay and use DRM but not at the potential cost of losing my library! Also many of the authors I am trying to replace appear to be sticking to one format - and it's not mobi.
Baldrake this conversation is the rumbling of the tectonic shift. Thanks to this conversation neither of us will get stuck with Beta instead of VHS, or Lotus!!
