Sony Reader PRS 600 novice!
Hello out there,
Can anyone help with wise advice re the best sources for books for my new Sony Reader PRS 600? I am aware of WHSmith and Waterstone's, of course - but there must be other places to download/buy classics and research materials, etc.
Please forgive the naive query!
Emma

Welcome to MR Emma, and it's not a naive query

Free books - you can find many here - click on E-Books in the blue bar above - for Sony you're looking at either .lrf or .epub formats. If you like sci fi or fantasy then check out the Baen Free Library

Buying books - try places like Kobo, Books on Board, Fictionwise, Baen...

Welcome, Emma!
You don't have to buy classics, they are available for free. Look here first, then manybooks, feedbooks, project gutenberg.
Happy reading!

Welcome,

Make sure to learn about DRM before you start spending a lot of dough on purchased ebooks.
