I have several questions which I don't think could or should be answered here. I'll go mine the threads elsewhere and find them. But just to let you know how stupid I am (and maybe others can see if they are similarly confused), they are:
1. So what is Adobe epub? I thought I knew what epub was and I know there is a DRM'd version of it. Is Adobe epub the DRM'd version? Does Adobe "own" the DRM methodology for it? Are there are other epub DRM schemes? Or do I somehow have this confused with Adobe Digital Editions (which I thought was completely unrelated to epub although both can be read on your PC use ADE)?
2. So who sells epub books right now? I thought I had read someone say that "all the big regional ebook vendors sell epub" but I can hardly find any epub books anywhere except for the free ones via Google. Fictionwise doesn't seem to sell any. Books on Board has some. Are there are other big vendors out there?
3. Conversion from other unsecured formats into epub. I know there's an entire forum devoted to this and I'll just have to plod may way through it.
I have my fingers crossed that a firmware update by Sony for the 505 will significantly improve the rendering of epubs. And I have other fingers crossed that my existing LRF and LRX books will remain readable, for a while at least.
