bcgirl · 11-16-2009, 07:51 PM

I found sony's ebook store but I understand there are MANY!! I am totally new and I am planning to get the PRS-505 but then what...I see that people like to read newspapers on their device, where do you find these? And are ebooks cheaper, sometimes I think they are still same prices as printed ones. Please, anyone to guide me in this electronic book world?

Have a look at our wiki.
(There's a link at the very top left of this page.)

There's a page on E-book stores:
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/E-book_stores

And on E-book lending libraries:
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/EBook_Lending_Libraries

Also on sources of free books:
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Free_eBooks

Also, we have a book upload section of our own: click on "Ebooks" on the blue bar toward the top of this page. With a 505, you will want books in LRF or EPub format.

About the newspapers: if you download Calibre, you can use it to synch papers to your reader. Just check out the Calibre section of the forum. It also converts books and is a library management tool.
