Welcome to MobileRead, ArmadilloPilot.

You bought what many people consider to be a very good ebook Reader. (I have 2 different, but older, Sony units myself.)

There's a host of additional areas in the Forums one can explore, such as News, Discussions, Freebies (for Sony and other reading devices from competing brands), in addition to many different Forums on any number of different areas.

While many people are quite content with Sony's software, you might also wish to explore calibre, which is a book management program available for free. There's a full Forum dedicated to it. It allows one to shift to different formats. It adds further functionality that the Sony software does not have.

You'll find many helpful people here who will be happy to help with any questions.

Let me close by saying that MobileRead has THOUSANDS of ebooks, which you may freely download. These are public domain and Creative Commons titles, and most are lovingly assembled by volunteers. Not only are there epubs (for your Sony), but other formats, as well.

Please visit the Forums of your choice and remember -----

HAVE FUN!
