Hello brave new world!

After much research and huge temptations from the Nook PR hooplah I finally instructed my wife that I wanted a Sony PRS-600 fro Christmas. I know she got it because she asked me to pick it out the color and model and then kicked me out of the store.

I'm so excited I've purchased or found (for free) 12 eBooks already and I don't even have the reader yet.

I love reading, especially Sci-Fi.

I'm Looking forward to participating in this community.

Cheers!
Brian

Hi Brian, welcome to Mobileread! Congratulations on your new toy! If you look under the Mobileread icon at the top of the page you will see a link for eBooks. Several members of Mobileread take their time to fix and format books which are no longer copyrighted. You may be able to pick up a few additional Sci-Fi eBooks for your collection.

Merry Christmas
Karen

Welcome to MR, Brian

You will be in heaven. There is a ton of sci-fi out there.

IMO the best is Baen no DRM with very reasonable prices and their free library.. ** I loved the Eric Flint and Dave Freer books, "Rats, Bats, and Vats" and "The Rats, The Vats, and the Ugly".

Feedbooks has a nice selection of Sci-Fi also.

We also have many author members who put their books on feedbooks. Check out my feedbooks list for some of them. Also, my signature lists some of our author members with books on Smashwords.

I found Baen thanks to the great and powerful Google.

I have The Rats, The Vats and The Ugly in print but didn't know there was another prequel? Kool!! I'm heading to hog heaven.

Thanks for the other suggestions. I'll be checking them out tomorrow.

BTW I found a here-to-fore unknown John Moore book (A Fate Worse Than Dragons, Heroics for Beginners) named "Slay and Rescue" but it is only offered in DRMed eReader format. I don't think the Sonys read this format. The orginal printing was done by Baen. Does anyone have an solution for this problem?

Thanks
Brian
