Question Where to download books for Sony eReaders
Several years ago, I gave my aunt a Sony PRS-600 reader. I was talking with her the other day, and she said that she hasn't been able to get books for it for some time.

Where can she download books, now, for a Sony reader? I don't use a Sony anymore, and mostly get my books from Amazon, but Sony readers don't take the Kindle format.

First things first: what does she like to read?

I ask that because it will help me point her to publishers and stores that sell DRM-free ebooks. Here are my five favorites.

Next: Have her install Adobe DE, and see if the app will recognize the Sony Reader. If the app does recognize the Sony Reader, then she can buy DRMed ebooks from Kobo, Google, and many other ebookstores. Those books can be loaded on to the Sony Reader using Adobe DE.

BTW, does the thing even still work?

I have a PRS600 (sorry, guess it's a 650), it was my main ereader up until about a year ago when I decided to get something with a better screen. Still have the 600 around here somewhere.

Anyway, I now have a Sony T3 and I buy ebooks from Kobo and B&N and Allromanceebooks. Most ebooks are available in EPUB format and can easily be put on the Sony. Especially if you do as suggested and get ADE to recognize the Sony reader, then you wouldn't have to worry about DRM.

Epub books can be downloaded from library (via computer).
Kindle-format books can be converted to epub after they been freed from DRM.

Still using the PRS-505. I use the Public Library/OverDrive for books. Download books to the computer then hook up the Reader via USB cable and copy from the Reader Library.

Note: I know I have Adobe's Digital Editions installed and authorized on the computer. It is tied into the Reader Library. This is the method I've gotten used to.

I too still use my 505 that I bought in march 2008, as my main reader. I get my books from Kobe bookstore.
