Doesn't matter. You can't take your Kindle library to another device meaning that all those "free and cheap books" are of limited value. If you stick with a DRM-free non-proprietary format like epub then your choice of ereader is wide open to anything but the Kindle which only supports the proprietary mobi format. This, in my opinion, places the Kindle at a substantial disadvantage.

As for "free and cheap", you can find thousands of public domain epub books on the internet. I have a library of over 300 books on my Kobo Touch, and not a single one of them cost me a dime. Best of all, they can be easily transferred to any other (non-Kindle) ereader.
