If i get the kindle can I convert my books from the sony reader to work on the Kindle as I have a couple of thousand books and don't want the hassle of going looking for them again. Or is there another device out there. I like the idea of a wireless connectivity to download from if I was away. Any advice appreciated.
It depends, whether your Sony books are .lrx or .epub.
Many of the former .lrx in the meantime can be re-downloaded as .epub. But far from being complete.
You can strip .epub from DRM (copy protection) and convert to any other format. But you can't do so with Sony's .lrx.
