Being a bit dim, I downloaded the MobiPocket version that won't work on my PRS-505. EBookMall was polite, attentive and understanding. Three days after I asked them what I should do, they refunded my payment via PayPal and suggested I go for the Adobe version.
Now, can anyone tell me why the PDF of this book should cost five bucks more than the MobiPocket version?
Nonsense or wot!? Neil

In this case it really doesn't make sense. Anyway, just shows you that DRM removal and conversion to a different format are what helps us to beat them at those silly games. I believe we should pay for the books, but we have a right to get the cheapest version and convert them for our own personal use. I strongly suggest you look into it, surprised you haven't done it yet. In your case it is even more important, since MOBI converted to LRF or EPub will look a lot better than PDF on the Sony.
