Hello Rugger & welcome to MobileRead. You've been told a truth. This is a great place to find free books, to discuss the whole publishing industry (but particularly e-books), and to talk to other readers of e-books. It's a great gang that has gathered here -- some of us who spend a lot of time here and others who drop in from time to time.
I'm quickly approaching my one-year anniversary with my Kindle. In 2008, I read 56 electronic books, 50 of those on the Kindle. Some of those books were purchased from Amazon, Fictionwise, Baen, and direct from the author. Others were free books downloaded from MobileRead, Feedbooks, Baen, and TOR. I actually made a couple of the books starting from text files found at Project Gutenberg. And we won't even talk about my hoarding behavior having downloaded just about every free book that was even marginally interesting to me -- particularly when the book was being offered free for a limited time. I've laughingly said that as long as I have power to recharge my Kindle and laptop, I have enough books on hand to keep me reading for at least 4 years. (Now don't think that I'll have read through my backlog in 4 years -- there are new books being published every day!)
I hope you find as much pleasure from your Kindle. We're glad you dropped in to MobileRead and introduced yourself. We'd like to get to know you better, so tell us more about yourself, particularly the kind of books that you like to read.
