The only format it supports is Classic NewtonBook. So you would need to
download Newtonbooks in this size or get books in plain text or a format
you can convert to plain text then make a Newtonbook out of it via
Bookmaker or Press (both available on UNNA).
However I would recommend getting a 130 or better yet 2100 or 2000
upgraded. With the current prices it is not much more for the best
model (MP2100) and they have many more advantages. Speed and memory
size being the two most noticeable ones.
If you only want to read books a 110 will work fine as speed is not a
requirement. But if you like the size of a 110, the 130 is the same
physical size and is a bit faster, has OS 2.0, and a backlight.
