I have been considering an ebook reader for some time .The Kindle 2 was just released and while its really an improvement over the first version, I did not find it better than the Sony. I don't need the wireless. So this last weekend I decided to pull the trigger on a Sony PRS-505 . I have spent the last couple of days learning how to download content onto the device. The software that comes with it is really simple and I was able to Download some of my 100 free classics in just a few minutes. And getting a PDF or some other form of free book onto the device is cake. Where the fun and hard part comes in is getting some of the content meant for other types of reader devices. See not all books come in all reader formats. So you might have to do a little converting.There is a really good community of people over at MobileRead Forums who can help you figure it out.I am really happy with how the reader works.The page turns are fast and I love how the bookmark system works.I can keep my place in every single book and move back and forth in an instant. I still have a few more normal books to read,but I am having a hard time not jumping into the books on the Sony.
I have another task now.What books to download for the rest of my 100 classics?I would love some suggestions.I am open to almost anything,plus I am sure there are some that might be good for Shira as well.
