But my estimation is that only the LRX files that show in your online Sony eBookstore "Purchases" list will be available to you on your Sony Reader in a converted DRM-ePub format after the conversion. This will make a LOT of ebbok pirates mad because their LRX files will be useless after the change-over unless it is listed in their Sony eBookstore as an authorized purchase.
But before the flaming begins, this is just my estimation of what will occur based on the released information from Sony so far. I could be completely off base.

I think LRX will continue to work, otherwise they would have said so in their email. The only instruction was to download the new software. I think LRX isn't supported on the daily edition because they knew it was coming out after the ePub rollout. Plus, to change the current Readers to not support LRX they'd have to do a firmware update on all the devices, less the Daily Edition (and the 500, they've already started that).
So yeah, I think the existing LRF/LRX files are safe.
