The Sony PRS functions as a hard drive. If you know where the files are on your computer you can drag and drop them into your reader. You can also try using Calibre to manage your free ebooks. There is a forum on this site for Calibre where you can get help using the program.

Sounds like its a problem with the format that the books are in, make sure its compatible with the Reader
