Unless they've added it since I last checked though you can't convert from a Kindle format to an epub format.
I've had one book that was only available in electronic format from Amazon, and it took me a day of hacking to get it into my Sony reader, and even then it wasn't the best.
So that (in my mind anyway) is the big downside to buying books and readers from Amazon; they're in a format that locks you into their 'ecosystem', you can only ever read your books on a device they decide they want to support. Which means that you don't really own your book, and I don't like that.
