Hi all, Just joined!
Apologies if this is the wrong forum for this query it seemed the right one from the title.
I recently bought a Sony PRS500 Reader and I'm really pleased with it, an excellent bit of hardware.
The problem is I am having real trouble finding eBooks to put on the bloody thing. Now I have been through the usual resources which I've found through this site :
- Open Library, Internet Archive's book scanning project
- The Open Library
- Gutenberg
- Scribd
- Textbook Revolution
- FullBooks.com
- www.freetechbooks.com
- manybooks.net
- ebookee.com
- ebookshare.net
- dbeBooks.com
- World eBook Library Consortia
- eBooksBay
- The Burgomeister's Books
- etc... etc... etc...
But am unable to find a decent source of ebooks.
Specifically I have a number of books here in paper form that have been sitting on my "to read" list for a while, since I now have the reader I'm wanting to get/obtain/rebuy or whatever in eBook form but it seems next to impossible to find them :
- Deep Survival - Laurence Gonzales
- The Weirdstone of Brisgamen - Alan Garner
- Bollocks to Alton Towers
- Papillon - Henri de Charriere
- Jonathan Livingston Seagull - Richard Bach
Does anyone know of any good eBook resources that I might not have come across (unlikely) that could stock these or are there any "secret" scanning groups for the frustrated reader owner who scan these things in and share among themselves?
It is looking like my next step is to buy a HP 5590, hack my paper books to bits and scan these things in myself which to be honest seems a bit rubbish since really I might as well just read the actual book instead!
So much potential wasted. I just want to be able to buy any book that takes my fancy in eBook form and read the damn thing, is that too much to ask.
Yours disappointed in his reader.
