Well, no not from a site called epubbooks, obviously, but from Gutenberg, feedbooks, and lots of other sites including right here at mobileread, you can get free public domain books that don't have to be converted because they're already in .mobi format. And you can get most, if not all, of those same public domain books direct from Amazon. Still free. No "shopping around" required. And Amazon's bookstore is a big advantage of the Kindle (for me). If I had to winnow down my ridiculous collection of readers to just one, Kindle would be the one.
But hey - I'm all for having lots of successful devices on the market - competition is good for all of us who love our ereaders!
