Help -- Where to start?

Hi,

I was in the US in early February on holiday and saw the Sony Portable Reader and was impressed. At the time I was visiting my brother who is working there for a year. He and the rest of my family chipped in and purchased one for my birthday recently. It was shipped from the US to me in Ireland.

When I got it I was delighted but was very quickly dismayed -- the Connect Store is only for US customers . I looked on the web and there are lots of free eBooks but most of these are old titles (Project Gutenburg) or sites for individual authors. I searched on commercial sites but eBooks etc. do not seem to support Sony's proprietary format (dont get me started on this ) nor am I sure if I can download the PDF's from here and transfer them to my Reader as I read about DRM'ed (I think its called) PDF files.

Can anyone please point me to a site where I can get the latest books from and which will work on my Reader. Or is there a tool which will allow me to convert downloaded books from these commercial sites into the appropriate format.

Thanks for your help,

Toddyl
