Congrats on your new reader and welcome to MobileRead
make sure you let us know what you like to read so we can give even more suggestions. If you have questions, just jump in and ask. Someone will chime in and answer and /or point you to a thread with the answer or more information.
I have a Sony 505 and I am new to this also.
I haven't ventured into using Calibre yet.
Here is what I know so far... The Sony 505 can read lrf, lrx (Sony store format with DRM), ADE (Adobe Digital Editions), Adobe pdf, and epub.
You can download (check the blue bar on top -ebooks) the all free ebooks from this site. They are much better formatted than the free classics from Sony. The members here have spent a lot of time making sure that the ebooks are beautifully formatted for our eReaders. Just get the lrf and epub versions.
Also, check out the deals and freebies thread for other free ebooks - some from the authors on this site.
The Wiki is your friend..... check out the information that is all about your Reader, ebook formats, ebook sites, and even how to get library books. (see "Wiki" at the top of this page)
Feedbooks is also a great site.
We have many authors that have generously given us some of their books. Check out the Authors' Corner and the signature line of this site's posters.
If I haven't got this right hopefully someone will come along and correct me
