Im thinking of buying Sony’s Reader Digital Book PRS-505, but only if I can use the books that I download from the Gutenburg Project. Does anyone know if they’re compatible?
Yes! Project Gutenberg books are available in plain text, so you can use the material to create ebooks that may be read on almost any device or you can just read add the text file to the reader. Many of these files have already been converted into Sony’s format (LRF) for easy readability.
Here are a couple sites with free ebooks available:
