Thanks again, all for the suggestions.

What I decided to do was search in the Connect web page (not Connect Reader Store) using "Sony CONNECT, Inc." as the search term. That pulled up what I assume are all the Classics that the credit can be used on. It pulled up 500. So I looked at all 500, 50 books at a time. I typed in Word every one that I was really interested in having. And, wouldn't you know, exactly 50 came up! (But there are two separate translations of the Iliad in there. The Iliad on the Reader!!! :lol: )

I know many of the following are already here (or PG). But I've got the credit and these are the ones that I'm interested in. So it's time to start downloading!

For those interested, here are my selections:
1. 20,000 Leagues
2. America Notes, Rudyard Kipling
3. The World Set Free – H.G. Wells
4. The Upanishads – Swami Paramananda
5. Twenty Years After – Alexandre Dumas
6. Bram Stoker’s Dracula
7. The Time Machine
8. Walden by Thoreau
9. The Sonnets by Shakespeare
10. King Henry VI by Shakespeare
11. Aesop’s Fables
12. The Three Musketeers by Dumas
13. Othello by Shakespeare
14. The Divine Comedy by Aligheieri
15. Ivanhoe by Scott
16. Henry 8th
17. Beowulf
18. Midsummer’s Night
19. Treasure Island
20. Tale of Two Cities
21. The Raven
22. Poems by T.S. Elliot
23. Romeo and Juliet
24. The Tragedy of King Lear
25. The Prince by Machiavelli
26. Hamlet
27. Macbeth
28. The Argonautica by Rhodius
29. The Aeneid by Virgil
30. Sense and Sensibility by Austen
31. Count of Monte Cristo by Dumas
32. Le Morte d’Arthur by Mallory
33. The Writings of Abraham Lincoln by Lincoln
34. The Divine Comedy by Dante
35. St. Ives by Stevenson
36. The Iliad of Homer by Homer
37. The Compleat Angler by Walton
38. Agamemnon by Aeschylus
39. The War of the Worlds
40. The Scarlet Letter by Hawthorne
41. Pride and Prejudice by Austen
42. The Picture of Dorian Gray by Wilde
43. Moby Dick by Melville
44. Leaves of Grass by Whitman
45. Frankenstein by Shelley
46. Faust by Goethe
47. Don Juan by Byron
48. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Twain
49. An Inquiy into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations
50. The Iliad of Homer in prose Translation by Walter Lang by Homer

Since the 50th is a dupe, I'm going to take Patricia's suggestion and go for a Balzac. - One that she hasn't posted here yet, if that be possible, since the above about standard only text characters in the formatting.

I might do just a little adjustment, also - I'm missing The Vicomte de Bragelonne by Dumas, for example. Not sure if I missed that one in the list, or if it wasn't there. Oh, and a lot of the ones on the list I've already done on my own (but didn't consider the formatting good enough to upload here.) And I'm still working on a good copy of Leaves of Grass.

But anyway, thanks for the help.
