Gents,

 I've recently started reading again, not just techy books, but story books.
Whilst On holiday on spain I read two books, "the princess of mars"
and "neuromancer", and I'm half way through the first book of Journey
to the west (the Wú Chéng'ēn version).
 i've got several Philip K dick books (including a couple of short
story compilation ones) and I've read a few of them (Ubik was one that
I really enjoyed, great twists all over the place).

 I really enjoy sci-fi, can anyone recomend any good sci-fi books?

 Now, ideally, I'd like them as an ebook (epub ideally). My wife and I
bought Sony readers (PRS-505) for ourselves and they're just superb.
The quality of the "screen" is awesome, it really is *JUST* like
paper, very high res, very readable, no glare and NO backlight.
 It works with .txt files (I found some free online books in .txt
format) and also with .epub. It does sort of work with PDFs but it
struggles to scale the page up or down. I've not tried the other
suported formats (LRF, RTF, DOC) but they should be fine.

 I can't seem to find the Philip K Dick books as ebooks :-(

 So, any suggestions?

Paul
