Legacy ebook readers

Hello,

My name is Pat and I am an avid reader and an ebook fan. I have a Kindle which I love. I also own a legacy ebook reader: Gemstar REB 1100. I recently found it in a closet. It turns on etc.

Does anyone have a good source to recommend for buying ebooks in this format?

Many thanks,

Pat

Baen (webscriptions.net) and Fictionwise.com both offer ebooks in .RB format. For Fictionwise, only the Multiformat ebooks will work. Smashwords.com doesn't have .RB, but does offer .HTML, which is easily converted with the RocketLibrary software.

It might be useful to ask a question in the fictionwise/ebookwise forum, Pat.

There are some expert members there, who don't always visit this part of the forum very often.
