  Free ebooks for the Kindle
There are some really, really good books that are out of copyright, which means you can download them for your Kindle for free. Two sites I just found are www.manybooks.net and www.feedbooks.com
 
I just downloaded Middlemarch by George Eliot, Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell, the Bible (one never knows when that might come in handy), Best American Humorous Short Stories (from 1915, it will be interesting to see how our collective sense of humor has changed since then), Grimm's Fairy Tales, Dale Carnegie's "The Art of Public Speaking" and a sci-fi short story by Cory Doctorow (current writer)... all for free. Man, I love my Kindle.
