People could argue that ePub could answer that problem, but even then, if Adobe's servers go down I'm stuck with a bunch of useless bits that have cost me hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars. No thanks.
Oh, I hear you! I said I was being good in that I was BUYING eBooks. I never claimed I wouldn't...convert... them! I'm buying eReader books for a Sony PRS-500, after all.
