I’ve downloaded around 50 books on my new Kindle 2, and they have all been free so far. Working through old favorites like Verne, Burroughs, Poe, Austen, and Cooper at the moment.
I honestly don’t think most thieves would be interested in $150,000 worth of words, to be honest, so that doesn’t concern me.
I love my Kindle 2.
I’m with you. There are plenty of free books out there, so the Kindle allows one to carry around a lifetime’s worth of reading at no cost (other than the unit itself). And because books are archived digitally, even if you buy a book for $10 you cannot ever really lose it. It’s a pretty neat product.
Those names are probably next on my list. Being a lover of Westerns, I've been working through Zane Grey, Charles Mulford, Max Brand, etc. But, a few more an I'll have to expand my horizons...

Thieves are interested in the money they get from selling the things they steal to people who want those things at a discount, so to speak...
Of course I could have read them on the computer but somehow reading fiction I like to be sprawled out on the couch or laying in bed, sitting at a desk just doesn't do it for me and then there's the portability factor. Read a good chunk yesterday waiting for the car to be fixed.
