Congratulations on your new Kindle, and I hope you enjoy it very much.
A Kindle can read plain text, .mobi, .prc and .pdf but the kicker is that the only kind of DRM (encryption) it can use is the Amazon DRM. (Pretty much every e-book reader I know of can only use one kind of DRM, but which kind varies from reader to reader.)
I can find _Youth In Revolt_ for Nook (don't remember what format of file that is) and in DRM-ed Mobipocket (.mobi) EPub and eReader. This is part of the confusion of formats and DRMs that some people refer to as "e-Babel" which I hope the industry gets sorted out very soon.
To put it onto your Kindle, it would be necessary to buy a copy with non-Kindle DRM and break the DRM so that you can translate it to a format your Kindle can read. I would buy secured Mobipocket and translate it to unsecured mobipocket--if I had gone to the effort of learning how, which I haven't yet. Make that a New Year's Resolution, I guess :-)
We are not allowed to discuss ways of doing this on the bulletin board, but people might be willing to e-mail you about it.
Anyway, I hope you figure out how to do this with a minimum of fuss and that most of the books you want are available without jumping through these sorts of hoops.
