Let's face it, books get expensive. I have a collection of over 600 books (both paperback and hardcover) and I don't even want to think about the collected cost of them all. What I love about owning the Kindle, is the HUGE selection of free e-books! I have started a library of about 102 books on my kindle ... all of them free. Where can you find these you may ask? Well there are several websites, and many are found right on amazon! Not only does Amazon provide a large selection of free content, but they also list many other places to find choice reading material. A places include:
1. www.Amazon.com in their Limited-time Promotional Offers or Kindle Popular Classics directory.
2. archive.org - Internet Archive is a non-profit dedicated to offering permanent access to historical collections that exist in digital format. Provides over 2.5 million free ebooks to read, download, and enjoy.
3. openlibrary.org - Open Library's goal is to provide a page on the web for every book ever published.
4. gutenberg.org - Project Gutenberg, one of the original sources of free ebooks, is dedicated to the creation and distribution of eBooks.
5. manybooks.net - ManyBooks.net provides free ebooks as a service to the Internet community at large.

I also love how quickly the Kindle works, whether you are using it to search for an download books or reading a book, the load times are minimal and almost non-existent if just reading a novel. Internet speed may seem a tad slow, but I feel it moves just as quickly as the internet on my smartphone so it is just another wonderful perk of this amazing device.
As you can see I am a truly happy gal. I adore my kindle and I am so pleased with how well it functions. If you are considering purchasing one yourself, please do not hesitate! They are wonderful!
