Help -- Where to start?
Hi,
I was in the US in early February on holiday and saw the Sony Portable Reader and was impressed. At the time I was visiting my brother who is working there for a year. He and the rest of my family chipped in and purchased one for my birthday recently. It was shipped from the US to me in Ireland. When I got it I was delighted but was very quickly dismayed -- the Connect Store is only for US customers ![]() ![]() Can anyone please point me to a site where I can get the latest books from and which will work on my Reader. Or is there a tool which will allow me to convert downloaded books from these commercial sites into the appropriate format. Thanks for your help, Toddyl |

If you're into Sci-Fi, try Baen books:
http://www.baen.com/library/ http://www.webscription.net/ http://baencd.thefifthimperium.com/ All their books have an RTF version which works on the Reader without any conversion. |

Have your brother buy you gift credits at Connect and reimburse him. If he lives in the States he can do that for you.

Or, alternatively, "Leaping Gnome", on this forum, very kindly offers to buy people "Connect" gift certificates; you just pay him by PayPal. Send him a PM if you're interested and he'll sort it out for you.
