Thank you GeoffC and haridasi for your answers.

I have tried looking for the books on Google, all the results are illegal downloads. I got so tired after looking for legal sources that I gave a go at some files, including the one you linked me to. I have a couple of issues. It is in a .PDF format of above 70 megabytes.
My Sony Reader has less than 100 megabytes of hard space, so I can put only head first C#, but all the other books are above 100 megabytes. The bad thing with Head First C# is that it is pretty unreadable with my reader (the text is too bright).

I have also tried putting those books on my iPhone wirelessly with DataCase, but the .PDF are too big and they simply crash the phone.

haridasi: This sites looks great and indeed, it has a lot of programming books! My only issue is that I can only buy them in a print format. I have made a free 14 days trial with "Safari books", but I can only access the books online. I am limited to download only one paragraph of one book, and not the whole book. Any idea please?

Again, I'm looking forward for your help and I want to press how thankful I am.
