hi mhazelton !
i have an eb1150 too and i love it ; in my opinion it has the best ergonomy of all the devices available currently.

i'm honestly not sure how easy it is to buy books in the .imp format ; i specifically avoid that, because i am worried about losing access to them if my eb1150 ever breaks or i switch to a different device.

however, luckily there are a lot of really great tools available here (and experts to help you use them, including sometimes the creator of the tool in person, like nrapallo) which will make converting from other formats really simple and fast, even if you don't know much about computers. i personally have had good success converting from .lit format (including with DRM) and from mobipocket format. take a look around the forums and you'll find plenty of information about how to do that in the simplest way, and don't hesitate to ask questions if you get stuck, we have a lot of very friendly and helpful experts around here.

also, don't miss the free ebooks available on this site ; there is quite a large selection already in .imp format so you won't have to do anything but load it up and start reading. just click the "e-books" link in the blue bar at the top of the page.

happy reading !
