I first came upon the idea of ebook readers a few weeks ago. I was doing some on-line shopping on Amazon and stumbled upon an ad for the Kindle. I started reading about its capabilities and absolutely fell in-love with it. However, problems arose surrounding its availability and its price. I couldn't see myself paying $400 for a 1st generation ebook reader.

After doing some research on alternatives, I chose the 505. I able to hold it in my hand at a local Sony Style and the 505 answered all of my needs. Looks, functions, and display. Unfortunately, the lack of Mac support is disappointing, but I am able to load it as a disk drive and use the software found on this forum to load books and manage my library. I use a Windows based laptop at work and will load the library software on that to register the device and take advantage of the 100 free classics from the Sony Store.

So far I love the device and am impressed by its screen and display - especially pictures. I'm going to make great use of this device on trips, commutes to and from work, and at home.

Question - where do I start in terms of ebook sites and books that I can purchase/convert to Sony's format? Do I look for Microsoft Reader formats? Is that the format that is most easily converted to Sony's format? I love the ebook library found on this site. Are there any others?
