Why sell your Sony (unless it's to get an Astak EZreader 'cos that reads more filetypes)? I have a 505--and not a shred of software on my computer that will read DRM'd ebooks. I buy from Fictionwise (multiformat) and Baen and Smashwords, and get free ebooks from all over the place.

No reason to stop enjoying ebooks; get some popcorn and watch the publishing industries reenact the Napster wars in slow motion. (And wait for the first court case that says, "y'know, if there's no legit digital edition available, the PDF isn't infringing on any profits anyway...)
