I just bought a Sony PRS505 and have been looking for books. I found this site and downloaded the Barsoom Anthology. I originally read these stories in the early 60's and had forgotten about them.
It as great to find them again and reread them.

Welcome to the forum Wilyumm! Glad you've already found some quality reading.

Welcome, Wilyumm.

Just wait until you find the others downloaded!

Hi Wilyumm and welcome to the Forum. You might try 1632 by Eric Flint. It takes place (sort of) in WVA

Hello Willyumm, and welcome to MobileRead.

Here at MobileRead, you'll find hundreds and hundreds of books formatted for your Sony reader. In addition to the Barsoom books, check out Burrough's Pellucidar series, set in a fictional hollow earth, or his Venus series. There's also a Venus series by Otis Kline which you could read for a comparison.

Wikipedia says,

Kline is best known for an apocryphal literary feud with fellow author Edgar Rice Burroughs, in which he supposedly raised the latter's ire by producing close imitations (Planet of Peril (1929) and two sequels) of Burroughs's Martian novels, though set on Venus; Burroughs, the story goes, then retaliated by writing his own Venus novels, whereupon Kline responded with an even more direct intrusion on Burroughs's territory by boldly setting two novels on Mars. ... While the two authors did write the works in question, the theory that they did so in contention with each other is supported only circumstantially, by the resemblance and publication dates of the works themselves. The feud theory was originally set forth in a fan press article, "The Kline-Burroughs War," by Donald A. Wollheim ... while Wollheim stated, when questioned on the source of his own information: "I made it up!"

You can find Conan the Barbarian by Robert E. Howard and five volumes of Burrough's Tarzan novels. (The link takes you to the first volume.)

In addition to early SF, there are several contemporary SF novels which have been loaded into the library here. I can recommend Neptune Crossing by Jeffrey Carver. You can download the ePub version of Neptune Crossing or the BBeB/lrf version, since both formats work on your Sony PRS-505.
