Also, does anyone know of any good sites to download free books, as in books no longer copyrighted? Sony's store has a "Classics" section, with books like Dracula, A Tale of Two Cities, etc, but they still charge two bucks. Seems silly to pay for these titles when they are probably out there somewhere for free.
Thanks for the help.

Visit the Wiki here for a list of stores:

And other free sites:

The key formats you are looking for are LRF/LRX, EPUB, and PDF. TXT and HTML should be useable too.
After you have settled into your Reader, I would suggest you check out
Calibre. It is software for managing your ebook library, and it can covert books into formats that your reader can read (if the book doesn't have DRM on it).
The is even a forum here just for Calibre discussion.
