A few questions:
  • When buying/searching for eBooks do you search by format or by eReader?
    Just about always by format
  • Do you know what format/s your eReader can read when searching or do you expect all eBooks to be read by your eReader?
    A bit of both, unless I am looking at a device specific site
  • Before you bought your eReader did you know about software to convert a format to your eReaders format? If you didn't would you have liked to have been informed by the retailer?
    No, I didn't know about conversion software specifically for e-book convertion, and No, I don't think the retailer should have supplied this info. For the amount you pay for the readers, the onus should be on the retailer to disclose the file formats the reader can ...read.... How you get that format is up to the customer, IMO

Thanks
So, that's what I think in a nut-shell.....
