I just downloaded some free Google ebooks thru the Sony eBook Library and they all saved as epub file. Wonder if you can only do it thru the eBook Library?

I sure hope someone creates a sort of an easy to use catalog of epub books from Google.

Good news for me, as how I don't use the Sony Software, since I don't use Windows.
