Most formats can be pretty easily converted to (X)HTML - in fact several are basically just containers for HTML files+images - which is arguably a safer long-term bet.

Quote:
1). Are some formats solely DRM locked?
I can't think of any formats off-hand that only exist in infected versions.

Quote:
2). Can formats be converted easily from one to another?
Yes (after disinfecting any DRM). Depending on source/output format, this may require some manual fiddling to get optimal output after conversion.

Quote:
3). What is the benefit of ePUB, Mobi, LRF over each other?
For general fiction reading, none. Pick the format your favourite reader (app or device) uses and convert into it as needed.
