Sony Plans to Adopt Common Format for E-Books – NYTimes.com.
This is an interesting concept using an open format, but what about items that have been purchased in the past what will happen to those files? Will there be a conversion feature? I use MobiPocket. It is an awesome little program that converts PDFs and WordDocs into its format and then I can load books and such onto my ancient PDA to read. It really isn’t too bad a device for reading. Since it isn’t an ebook reader, the battery has to be charged constantly or I have to go through a stupid reboot process involving my computer. It isn’t very fun and I tremble to realise I might one day not have access to my older books because of a loss of computer data or somesuch.
But it looks like hope may be on the horizon. We will see when it comes down to it.
