Hello from Vancouver :)

Hi,

I'm new! I just got my Sony PRS-505 today. I have to admit I lurked here and read what everyone was saying about the different makes/models of readers before I took the plunge, so thanks! So far I love my reader.

Hi Aimee and welcome to the Forum. I got a 505 back in January and like it a lot. Be sure and let us know how you like yours.

Welcome

You can download ebooks from this site without charge simply by clicking on the books heading at the top of the page. The format that you want is mobipocket (or .prc) These will work on your Kindle.

You will probably also want to check out the feedbooks.com website. Simply register with them and download all the free books you wish. If you search this site, you can find instructions for RSS feeds for both Mobileread and Feedbooks that will allow you to download the books directly into your Kindle via Whispernet. One time "free books" from a variety of other sites are also noted by forum members under the tag "Deals and Freebies" on a day to day basis.

Lastly, if you have access to a U.S. public library, many offer ebooks for checkout and download. The tools for making them work on your Kindle can be found at this site as well. Look for Igorsk's KindlePID and KindleFix python scripts.

cheers

Good to have your company, Aimee. The 505 is a wonderful wee device and in tandem with free Claibre Library software, it's even finer (http://www.calibre-ebook.com). Happy e-reading and best wishes. Neil
