I am a proud owner of a new Sony 505. Just started playing around with some of it's features. To my surprise and joy I see that it is easy to download from Scribd. So many of the books there are contemporary and ones that I could buy at the bookstore (and I think with the copyright still operating, not public domain). Is it legal to download them? I hope so. I love the more esoteric books that are more rare and expensive to buy and they are there for free.
