You are quite right, I was taking an unfortunate shortcut.

Of course, the trite conclusion could be "to each his own", although I really feel this is a good example why less choice is bad for all of us. |

Well, it really did take a whole week! I finally got my email a few minutes ago. Just when I was about to give up hope and call customer support again. 394 books transferred so I am missing about 70. I'm really surprised by some of the books that didn't transfer since they are mainstream bestsellers.

I actually had 394 of 462 transfer which is an 85% success rate. I'm just surprised by some of the ones that didn't transfer. I will have to do some research to figure out why not. Then I found some books transferred with the proper title but wrong author! Also some books have been updated to a newer edition. Interesting!

I read a very wide variety of books, both fiction and nonfiction, which is why I was surprised at some of the things that did transfer and those that didn't. I guess I should just be thankful that something transferred rather than nothing! I have all my books downloaded so I didn't really lose anything.

Sony transitioned their store format from LRX to EPUB in 2009. I lost a few books back then. I just noticed at least one of these lost books was transferred to my Kobo account. I wasn't expecting that!

I lost some LRX books too. I didn't think to check to see if they somehow transferred to Kobo. I'll have to check as I never downloaded and liberated the LRX books and just assumed those that didn't transfer to ePub were lost. Thanks for the tip!

Mine still showed in my Sony account but didn't have a download button. So I guess that's why they got evaluated for transfer. Maybe you have some like that too.

Are we saying that Sony took our money but now we cannot see these books? How do I get my refunds? |

Interesting. One if my problem books just loaded into the Kobo app when I opened it on my phone just now. I guess they are still fixing things in the background, probably as people complain about them.
