Hello all, I've just been given a Sony PRS 600, and this forum was recommended to me as a useful place to get info. I'm technologically challenged, but hope to overcome my fears!

Thanks for the warm welcome!
I have managed to get a selection of free classic books loaded, to keep me happy for a while. What to get next though? I'm like a kid in a bookstore... and my house doesn't get filled up with even more paperbacks!

Wonderful. Be sure and look into the possibility of borrowing e-books from your library it you have one available. Not sure it that is available in UK or not.

I too started with the classics and in fact their availability was a major factor in my decision to purchase a Sony 505.

Thanks Kenny,
My public library was allegedly getting ebooks but 'no date set' and 'no agreement with supplier' seem to be the current state of play.
Still, plenty out there to enjoy, biggest prob is deciding, and trying to compare prices at different stores! Oh and spending too much time on-line and neglecting the family, but hey, what's new?

I'm new too - and I'm also a technical waste of space. But I find that if you keep pressings the buttons, something usually works out. Eventually.
