STFU && RTFM

Wrapping up my series on eBook usage, I provide you with a list of handy links for legal download of books for your eBook, as well as other links that might prove useful:
 
Software:

Calibre
Sony eBook Library
 
Free eBooks:
Baen Free Library
ManyBooks.net
Project Gutenberg
 
eBook shops:

Note: For the next few posts, I will be discussing my choice of eBook, what I think of the device, the software, and finish off with a few tips for users.
 
Since the firmware for the Sony Reader reached version 1.1, the Sony Reader has had support for Adobe Digital Editons, a DRM-protected format for eBooks. To use Adobe Digital Editions with your Reader, you need to do the following:
 

1. Go to the Adobe Digital Editions website
2. Sign up for an account (it is free)
3. Download and install the software
4. Authorize your computer
5. Connect the Reader
6. Authorize the Reader

 
After that is done, you simply need to buy books (which I will cover in a later post), download them, and then copy them to your Reader. You don’t actually need to use Adobe Digital Editions for this, which has an advantage; Adobe Digital Editions is unable to edit the metadata of the files.
