I can spend my lunch hour at Gutenberg.org or epubbooks.com (this one is my favorite) and find another three dozen to add to my quickly growing digital library: 300 books and counting, all without spending a dime... well, except for the Kobo, of course.
Of course, you can do that with the Kindle as well.

If that was their main goal they did a poor job of it, by the looks of my Kindle's home page...
