If your PDF books are all text, you can load them into Book Designer to convert to LRF. While you'll lose your attributes, you can use the PDF on the computer to find your attributes and put them back into the Book Designer copy. You can find info about Book Designer at the MobileRead Book Designer wiki page.

Also there are the free books posted here at MobileRead you can download for your Reader.

Also, the correct URL for the Connect site is http://ebooks.connect.com and to purchase books there, you can use your Sony credit. All you do is when you install Connect and register, check that you are in the US and then activate your Reader and it will give you the credit to purchase some books.

Also if you have any HTML based content, you can use html2lrf part of the Libprs500 package to convert HTML into LRF.

There is one other solution, there is PDFrasterFarian you can use to make your PDF more readable. Can't say it'll work as well as you want. But it us another option.

Good Luck!
Jon
