I'm a 15 year old boy, I don't read too much, but I'm a gadget guy and am thinking having something electronic to read on will encourage me to do so. :]
Congrats on the new reader. May I suggest that you head off to the Baen Free Library, where you will find 80+ free science fiction and fantasy novels. There's lots of good stuff there. With no idea of what you like (beyond what is quoted above) I'll hazard a few suggestions:
For humorous adventure, try Pyramid Scheme (Fantasy) or Rats, Bats, and Vats (SF)
For a kick-ass coming-of-age tale, try The March Upcountry (SF)
For SF mystery, try The Mountains of Mourning

If you're after something else entirely, ping me for other recommendations.

P.S. Hey Kid! Want an eBook? First hit's free
