I buy ePubs from Sony and deDRM them. Then I use Calibre to convert them to a better ePub format for my PRS300 and also to Mobi for my T91MT. I haven't noticed any weird conversions of apostrophes and quotation marks, but I will look more closely as I'm currently reading a converted Mobi book in MobiPocket Reader on the T91MT that started its life as a Sony ePub.

BTW: When I convert from ePub to Mobi I use Calibre's Page Setup screen to set the Output Profile to Sony Reader 300 and the Input Profile to Default Input Profile. This has worked well for MobiPocket Reader for the PC on my T91MT. There are many formats to choose from, so another combination might yield different results, but this combination seems to work for me.

I also have a BB Curve 8900, but the screen is so small I never tried using MobiPocket Reader on it, but I might now that I can convert my ePubs to Mobi. I have used DataViz to read Word Doc files and it is readable but requires a lot of scrolling.
