Hi Sara,

Welcome to Mobileread. You've come to the right place.

I can't find info on a Sony e500. Is it the Sony PRS-500?

If so, what you want is Calibre - excellent software for organizing eBooks and loading them onto a Sony PRS-500. It's free from http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/

I think the PRS-500 can only read LRF/LRX format eBook. Luckily Calibre can convert to the format from most other formats that don't have DRM.

There are lots of excellent (out-of-copyright) ebooks in LRF format here at Mobileread. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/ebooks.php?forumid=126

Otherwise, Multiformat ebook from fictionwise work well. http://www.fictionwise.com/

For specific questions, ask in the Sony forum. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=100

What problem are you having? It's hard to recommend a solution when we don't know what the issue is.
