Hello all.

Thought it was high time for me to stop lurking around on these forums and express what a wonderful place this is! I've been researching eBook Readers for about a month now, and went through a gut-wrenching battle between the Kindle and the PRS505. In the end (thanks to this wonderful forum), I decided the Kindle just wasn't for me and my 505 should be arriving by this Wednesday at the latest.

I've gathered all of the DRM free eBooks I had on hand and have them in place within Calibre. I've been reading eBooks for years on PDA style devices, but as of late the eye-strain from the small screens and bright backlights moved me to start thinking of the e-Ink readers. I'm at the point where I'm ready to purchase a few new books to add to my collection, and just wanted to ask where does everyone buy content for the Sony Reader?

I installed the Reader software on an extra Windows machine I have here (my main computer is a Macbook), but I hesitate to get locked into the whole DRM thing again. I own several DRM books from readers long gone, and they're pretty much useless at this point. Are there any places to buy DRM free books that can be easily converted to the native Reader format? Mobipocket, perhaps?

Thanks again!
