Trying to download them from where?

The ones here at Mobileread in LRF format should be easy enough to get.

Good to have your company, Fcalzar. You tried downloading the excellent and free Calibre Library software (http://www.calibre-ebook.com). That should solve your problem. A Sony PRS 505 and Calibre is a marriage made in heaven. Luck and best wishes. Neil

Welcome Fcalzar,
What exactly is your problem while trying to download those books?
Can't you find them, don't you know which format to choose, or does your attempt to actually download the files doesn't work?

Hi AnneT...I have actually solved the download problem with Calibre...however my Sony Reader Library App doesn't recognize the download format & will not import into the library...therefore I have created a second library in Calibre. It appears that the Sony app is the dfault program for books/periodicals etc, since in Calibre I go to open the book it actually opens it on the computer using the Sony reader app. Confusing but manageable, I will try to consolidate all into one library, looks like Calibre is the best option with the most flexibility. Your suggestions / thoughts are welcome
