Wow, a question *I* can answer!! That's the way to make a newbie feel welcome!
Ok, the 100 Free books are all Classics and they are in the Sony Connect store with blue and white covers on them. All I had to do was authorize my reader and poof at the bottom of the check-out screen I see 100 Free book credits for Classics only. Note these are listed at $0.99 in the store books.
Now, I'm so new and probably not as picky as many others, but I'm reading that all (and more) of the Sony Classics are here on Mobile Read better formatted. I was just about to compare two books to see if I see a difference when I got stuck on formats/Calibre and realizing I don't know very much.
I do know that the Sony Software has been beaten to death, but I'm adding my two big complaints about the store -- it is REALLY hard to sort down to what I'm looking for -- like genre then by author then by price AND I hate that you can't build a cart and then download the whole thing at once. I wanted to download a bunch of books and it takes twice as long with all the extra clicking.
I do promise to take photos of my case that I made soon -- I'm beyond proud, but I fear that my husband might have plans to ask me to make one for his Kindle. (Yes, on the same day we both one Sony for me and a Kindle for him -- we are undecided who won.)
Thanks -- the help here is amazing. I'm moving to Calibre as I type -- that will make my life so much easier.
