What bothers me is that the Connect Store makes no sense on what books are missing.

For instance, Terry Brooks' Voyage of the Jerle Shannara series has ONE book of the three available in the store, and it is the second of the three. If Sony can get one, why can't they get the other two? They are all the same publisher.
The solution to the problem of My ebooks are not longer readable since I switched to a different reader is one that is easy to solve from this point on. if you purchase your books in LIT format, you can use CLIT 1.8 to break the DRM or convert to HTML. Book Designer will load in the LIT file or HTML. But I prefer to direct load the lIT file. And then Book Designer can write out a number of different formats. So the chances of your being able to switch devices and keep your books is very good if you start with LIT format. I can take my LIT format, buy a Sony Reader, output LRF and if I moved to an IRex, I could output PDB for use with it. No loss.
