Hi, and welcome!
I'm pretty new myself, and have already become completely addicted to using an e-book reader (expect for the painful blisters.) I also enjoy the search for new materials to read almost as much (but not quite.)
As Florida is quite flat, you should have no difficulty finding other e-book readers near you to share books. Just stand on a telephone book and hold yours up in the air and everyone in the state will be able to see you and you can all get together!
If that doesn't work so well, there are thousands of titles available right here! No need to stand on high places...
