You are correct in that the recent history of ebooks has been format-of-the-month. One year ago I did not care about BBeB/LRF, I had not even heard of it. Then all I read books in was PRC through PalmReader on my cell phone.

In the BBeB area we have almost a thousand books here mostly formatted with BookDesigner.
I just think it's somewhat futile to convert all these books to LRF and post them in mobileread, knowing that LRF probably won't be around very long. We should be expecting that much from Sony. It's like building up a collection of Betamax videos or putting all your music on minidisc format. Sony has screwed consumers in the past, so why should we think they've changed?
