Amen to that. No one can guarantee a particular format will never become obsolete or that a major vender will always remain in business.

Anyone else use Carbonite? I kind of like it. It's not free, but it allows me to access my files from my iPad no matter where I happen to be.

Yep, I use it. I use it as an offsite backup of all of my data on my main iMac.

Last nights episode will probably need a complete 'hard re-boot', so I'm sick of it.

So I'm thinking about buying a Kindle, but I imagine my library isn't going to transfer and if it does I'll need to reformat it in Calibre, but will still have the DRM problem. Or am i totally wrong or confused.

Thanks
The T1 is a a very reliable device. My mother has one and my mother-in-law has one and they both work very well. I suggest instead of having to convert your library over to a different format that you stick with ePub and get a T1.

I don't since they don't support Linux.
