I spent most of the afternoon today going through everything at Mobile Read and would have to rank them number 1 for 'ready to go' free ebooks which look most attractive on the reader. I tried some files from other places (Fictionwise and my own text files) and they just did not look as pretty. It seems like off line breaks and things like that were less noticeable on the smaller screen of my iPod Touch, and on the Sony, I seem to really notice it. I do not want to have ebooks on it which will not look decent.

So, with that said, what is the next best place to start looking for ready to go ebooks which look reasonably nice on the 505? If you had to rank the following places from best to worst, how would you do it?

Munseys
Manybooks
Baen Free Library
Feedbooks

Just as an FYI, I have gotten material from these websites for the iPod Touch and never had a problem. I am just concerned with how their books will look on the Sony.
