Notice how # 4, A Man of Few Words, looks different than the other books with a Download Option description and an Adobe DRM EPUB button.

No worries. If Don Quixote is the book that you really want to read, then you have many options for free public domain classics. First many public domain books are available here on MobileRead. Also you can try a website like feedbooks.com, manybooks.net or gutenberg.org.

EDIT: Just wanted to add, it looks like most public domain classics on Kobo are not downloadable for Sony. Some free ebooks will be publisher promos, and those are available for EPUB download.
Bookworm_Girl, you RAWWKKKK! I think we both hit the nail on the head at about the same time. You just saved my wife many minutes of frustration trying to perform a futile task. But I'm a little sad as I primarily signed up for a Kobo account to get a lot of those free ebooks onto my Sony PRS-650. I will try some of those other sources that you have listed. Thanks again!
