Any tips for reading to get my head around this would be much appreciated.
Essentially Sony moving to Adobe EPUB is a good thing because they will have a crackable DRM format much like the kindle already has. I am sure many people buy from Amazon as opposed to Sony due to Sony's lrx format not being cracked at this point. BTW Calibre converts to Epub brilliantly, in fact that's prob. what you should be converting those .lits and mobis into.
