Sony Reader PRS 600 novice!
Hello out there,
Can anyone help with wise advice re the best sources for books for my new Sony Reader PRS 600? I am aware of WHSmith and Waterstone's, of course - but there must be other places to download/buy classics and research materials, etc. Please forgive the naive query! Emma |

Welcome to MR Emma, and it's not a naive query
Free books - you can find many here - click on E-Books in the blue bar above - for Sony you're looking at either .lrf or .epub formats. If you like sci fi or fantasy then check out the Baen Free Library Buying books - try places like Kobo, Books on Board, Fictionwise, Baen... |

Welcome, Emma!
You don't have to buy classics, they are available for free. Look here first, then manybooks, feedbooks, project gutenberg. Happy reading! |

Welcome,
Make sure to learn about DRM before you start spending a lot of dough on purchased ebooks. |
