There's a lot of good books available with expired copyrights (gutenberg et al), but still I'd like to get some recent books for my sony of course.

Can anybody recommend me a store that:

- sells to europe, specifically the Netherlands
- has books in a format supported by the sony reader

Thank you very much !
To be honest, without Windows you are well and truly screwed. All the tools you need to get from LIT to LRF are Windows based. I suggest you install Windows just so you can purchase and deal with lIT format books. Also, if you install WIndows, you can install the Connect software and take advantage of the $50 book credit from the Connect Store. To be honest, to take the most advantage from your Reader, you should have Windows.
