Hello Gregor and welcome to MobileRead. I discovered this place just over a year ago when I was awaiting delivery of my Kindle (first generation). MobileRead is a delightful place to hang out on the Internet and filled with people who are as passionate about reading as I am. My Kindle and Sony readers go with me everywhere and it's so much more convenient to load them up rather than packing numerous paperback books when making a business trip. (It's amazing how *heavy* paper is!)
Since getting my Kindle and Sony, I've "bought" 120 Kindle books from Amazon. Now, I will confess that I put "bought" in quotes because I've taken advantage of almost every free book that they've offered. Even when the book wasn't something that I'd read right away, I went ahead and bought it for $0.00 because I figured I might want to read it later on. I've bought a dozen or so books from Baen and am a very big fan of the fact that buying the book from Baen gives me copies in multiple formats, so I can read the book on whichever reader I choose at the time. I've also bought 3 or 4 multi-format books from Fictionwise.
And, I've certainly taken advantage of the marvelously formatted free books downloaded from here at MobileRead.
