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.
The reason LRX files won't work on the PRS-900 is that the store will have changed by then and you cannot authorize your 900 to handle them. So the 900 is unable to be authorized. I do think the 900 will handle LRF. At least I hope so.
