Kobo? Are you kidding? I think they are a horrible ebook site. Their search is crappy because it uses OR instead of AND and they don't have a cart! If you want to buy 10 books you have to buy each one, one at a time. Poor implementation.

As far as converting ereader docs goes, I recommend erdr2pml, then ebook-convert to convert it.

I've discovered I like my readers simple. The simpler the better. I don't like the Kindle because of the useless keyboard. It makes the device bigger for no reason. My 2 favorites are my PRS-900 and my Pocketbook360 because they are essentially all screen. They have no extraneous real estate outside the reading area. I though I would miss the touch screen to turn pages on the Pocketbook but I don't. Since it rotates 360, I can put the page turn button wherever it is convenient.
Thanks for the ebook-convert info! I was using erdr2pml, then xpml2xhtml and that gave a mess. Just importing the pml into Calibre and converting from there is much easier! Now I can actually buy the ereader books if they are the only option! Thanks again!
