1) Pandoras Star (Peter Hamilton)
2) The Naked God (Peter Hamilton)
3) Enders Game (Orson Scott Card)
4) Anything by David or Lee Eddings
5) A darkness at sethanon (Ramond E Feist)
And found that.....nothing was available. I like the look of my kindle but as far as i can see, unless I want to get the latest new york best seller then i'm square out of luck. Can I purchase books from other e-retailors?
If not, can I return what is (as far as I can tell) a paperweight?

Not every book is available as an ebook. It will take years to convert older titles. If it isn't available in the Kindle store, it's most likely not in ebook form yet (though that's not always true but mostly). Amazon is in year 2 of its 5 year plan to get all print titles into ebook form.
Also, some author's are not on board with ebooks and are holding them back.
