Hi Jock,

Welcome to Mobileread! There are lots of friendly people here for advice and banter.

Be careful with those eBay bundles though - most of them are bootleg versions, with none of the money getting back to the authors.

For out-of-copyright books, look here on Mobileread first - there are thousands, all nicey formatted by Mobileread members.

For in-copyright books, don't give money to bootleggers. There are plenty of free torrents out there if you must rip off the authors. Otherwise, there are publishers and retailers out there who actually give good value to reader and author. (E.g. Baen Books - http://www.webscription.net/ or Smashwords http://www.smashwords.com/ )
