However, I think you made a good choice starting out with a Kindle. Amazon does have the best store by a country mile. Goodreads integration is nice too.

I'd recommend familiarizing yourself with Calibre and Apprentice Alf. In a bit, when you're ready for something new if you decide not to stick with Kindle and you won't feel locked in to any ecosystem.
I am not locked into Amazon. I can sideload books from other places without Calibre.
I just have to download the correct format.
