Hi curson and welcome to MobileRead.
Before you know it, you'll have so many books in your library you'll wonder when you'll find the time to read them all. WDE. |

Whatever it is, as long as it's reading
Still beginning to orient myself around, seeing what's available, and how to use my reader at its best. It's going to take some time! tnx for the welcome! |

Click the "ebooks" link in the blue bar above
Check out the "deals and freebies" section If you like free, there is enough here to keep you reading for a long long time. You will probably learn to prefer ePub format, like most of us here due to its ease of use. Your 505 will also read LRF formats without any trouble. It will almost always read PDF formatted books, but not every time and hardly ever will it be pretty. I try to avoid PDF books whenever any other option is available! :-) There are converters available for many other ebook formats, but you must google for them. |

Hello curson welcome to the club, it took me a long time to find the cash for my Sony 505 but now I would not be without it. It amazes me how many good books there are free here legally, public domain that I would not have read otherwise.
There are also many 'indie' authors here offering their work on either a free or pay only if you enjoy it basis. I do still buy authors work I particularly like but I have a 'to read list running to nearly 100. Have a look at the deals & freebies thread and the eBook list here. Hi! Bunnykins!

Welcome to MobileRead, curson!
I have the Sony 700 and don't know how I did any reading before I got it!  If you have any questions or concerns about your reader, check out the dedicated forum for all things Sony 500/505 to see if anyone else has experienced the same thing or ask your question there. We have wonderfully helpful members who are always willing to lend a vitual hand! Enjoy.Happy reading! |
