I've never understood why Amazon doesn't do this, have 100 pre-loaded classics.

I can only assume it's because that would dissuade people from buying a book when they first get their Kindle, and most of the "classics" on Amazon have numerous pay versions (which is slimy but makes money for Amazon)
