Hi sreader2008 and welcome to the Forum. How do you like your Sony. I'm very pleased with mine

I just love it, however, I feel limited by the Sony Connect eBook store. I am new to this eReader stuff and a little perplexed by what ebooks I can download to the reader. Any suggestions to help me with this? Sure would appreciate it.

There are lots of alternatives to the Sony Store for books. For example, right here on Mobile Read there is a book upload section (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/for...lay.php?f=126) where you can get a seemingly endless supply of free books.

Also, you can buy books from BookOnBoard (http://www.booksonboard.com/) in Adobe PDF Format. Fictionwise also carries some books formatted for the Sony.

And some public libraries also lend out eBooks. Go to the Mobile Read Wiki here https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/EBook_Lending_Libraries for a list of lending libraries that do eBooks. There aren't any listed in St Louis but some of them will lend you books for a small fee. The Fairfax VA library will allow out-of-towners to borrow books for a fee of $27 a year. I belong to the Fairfax Library and have downloaded and read several books. It's a good system

Don't forget Fictionwise which sells multi-format books which include the sony format. I think Fictionwise also includes Secure Adobe for some of their secure ebooks.

See the Wiki for a whole list of places that have ebooks in the Sony format.
