On the plus side, Sony have more than a hundred books categorised as 'Sony Classics', so you get to have a choice.
On the minus side, these are automatic conversions of public domain books. The quality is not always good.
Try comparing them with our hand-crafted books in our book upload section. You will find better versions of most of the classics on offer. (If you haven't found it yet, then go to the blue bar towards the top of this page and click on 'Ebooks'.)
Incidentally BbeB is one of the names for the Sony proprietary format. The book will have an LRF file extension when there is no DRM and an LRX extension when it is DRM'd.

Wow..that worked great Patricia... thanks. I downloaded Hard Times from Sony last night to see if the "free" thing worked. While it looked like a regular transaction, nothing has posted to my credit card... yet.
I also tested this site, and tried Anna Karenina and Moby Dick. That worked awesome! Thank you all so much for your help.
