A few questions: - When buying/searching for eBooks do you search by format or by eReader?
The book comes first, so I look in places where I'm likely to find a format I can use--so I guess it's 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?
Yes, I do, but I also know how to make use of what formats I can find that I can't use with my Sony.
- 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?
Since I've been doing the e-book thing for something like ten years, I was ahead of the curve on formats and conversions. I learned from places like c.p.e.m. For new folks, more information is always better, as long as it's simple, clearly written, and kept current. Pointers to places like MR, are always a good idea.

I know I'm not the kind of sample you're looking for, and the faster the market grows, the more of a minority folks like me will become. I'm definitely not the demographic that the market is aiming for, but I though I'd chime in anyway.
