The REB1100 is the descendent of the Rocket eBook reader. RB files are indexed and compressed HTML. So, whatever the source of your books, if you can get them to HTML, you can get them to RB.

An excellent set of tools (for the command line) is the rbmake project. It can create, explode, make dictionaries, and much more.

The Rocket Librarian, for the original Rocket eBook can convert web pages to RB. But it cannot transfer files to the REB1100. Use the version on the downloaded CD for that.

Oh, and if you use linux, you can use rebcomm to transfer files.

Conversion is the bane of all ebook readers. I think almost all forms of "locked content" have been broken. You have a bunch to learn, but you'll figure it out. Check out the Calibre forum. Calibre can convert to RB.

There are some Yahoo groups that have a big archive of questions and answers, too.
