Having problem finding the eBook I want to buy.

Hello everyone,

I've been browsing your forum with the search function but was not really successful, so I thought I'd start a new topic because I am having a hard time finding the books I'm looking for.

I have a Sony Reader PRS-500 and I am looking to buy a couple of books until I take my plane. I have not found any of the books that I was looking for in the Sony eBook Store.

I am looking to buy about 2 books for my Reader, one about C# and one Java.
In fact, I already have a pretty good idea about what I want, but I am having a hard time finding those books in an eBook format, and if so, I'm not sure they will be in a good quality to be read on my Sony Reader.

In a nutshell, I am looking for Head First C# (http://tinyurl.com/6ajcmh), C# 3.0 in a Nutshell (http://tinyurl.com/6nzuw9) and Head First Java, 2nd Edition(http://tinyurl.com/6p4xxj). All the links refer to Amazon.

First of all, I'd like to ask you if Amazon Kindle's file do work with my Sony Reader? I think the answer is no and I am sure this have been asked a million times already but I could not find any answer with the search tool.

Secondly, well, could you give me a site where I could find any (or even better) all the books I'm looking for. In fact, if the books I am looking for do not exist in an eBook format, then I'd like a good site with a lot of programming books. I'd rather pay more for the eBook but have more choice and (maybe), some customers reviews, rather than more hassle.

I am sorry to bother you but I was not able to find good eBook stores with a lot of content, or I am not sure if those eBooks have the right file format my eReader (there is some sort of lack of description on some eBook stores, apparently).

I apologize to bother you and thank you very much in advance.
Sincerely,
Jary
