Like dwig, I also had a World Library CD. Mine came with my first Windows computer in 1996. I don't think I read anything on it though. I still have the CD, came across it the other day.
My first etext that I read (from Gutenberg) was an Arthurian something-or-other by Chrétien de Troyes somewhere around 1997.
My first ebook for reading on the PC was from Fictionwise - one of a batch of short stories, don't remember which story was first - around 2005, I believe.
My first ebook purchased specifically for reading on an ereader was _Anthill: A Novel_ by E.O. Wilson. Funny thing is, I bought the book and had it sent to K4PC because I hadn't bought a Kindle yet. I ended up deciding not to buy a Kindle then. Several months later, I finally bought my Kindle, but I still haven't gotten around to reading that book.
The first book I actually read on my Kindle (not counting the manual) was a Harlequin romance. Don't know which one; I didn't start keeping track until January 1st. I do know that there was a cop in it, but that doesn't really narrow it down much.
