Hi @everyone! About kindles and freebies - just wanted to add my .02. I don't have a kindle, but I now have about 4,800 ebooks with almost all of them coming from Amazon and over 95% being free. I run across some duds but I'm generally very pleased with the quality of the free reads I've found.
I use kindle for pc as others have mentioned and then add the books to calibre. Kindle for pc is getting slower as my library grows, but it still works. I know I could remove those books from my pc and probably improve its performance.
I find most of my books from ereaderiq, reader forum recommendations, poking around amazon and a few other sites. At this point, I'd only buy an actual kindle if it became more important to me to read outdoors (which is hard to do on my phone or tablet) or if I thought it would pay for itself by getting those kindle-device only freebies that amazon gives out.
Happy reading everyone!
