I hear you. Prior to getting a Kindle myself last week, I ignored most of the amazon freebies. I spent months either just buying the freebies to sit idle on my 'account' or ignoring them altogether.
Most of the time I head for the free or cheap reads from Carina or DANL, and smashwords. I often try to see if a book advertised on this thread is also available elsewhere because people without Kindles are left out in the cold.
I would read people on MR who say they don't Kindles who know how to strip and convert, but I wasn't one of them, pre-Kindle. I'd look and look for ways to separate the danged files and make them mine, but without that danged registered serial number I was sunk. So i swallowed my pride and bought the cheapest model they had.
Thanks for the reminder, though. I will try to look for sources other than amazon.
