I have about 40 titles on my Kindle, and only 2 of them are from Amazon. If you go to Feedbooks, or other public domain repositories, you'll find great books (and interesting oddities) that are free. Right now I'm in the middle of Moby Dick, a book I never read in school (already knew how it ended.) I wouldn't want to read most of the Amazon best seller list, but if Amazon does digitize all of its stock (including my little book) I will certainly be spending more there. Until then, it's back to the classics. At least now I know where the name "Starbuck" came from...
