Agreed!
I love my new Kindle, and the ability to read pretty much anything I want to. No going to the stacks at the library to track down an article, or going in to buy the next in the series of my favorite sci-fi or detective novels - I just find it online and download it. It’s fantastic!
I also maintain my Kiwanis club’s monthly newsletter and keep a copy on my Kindle (PDF). Do either of you use Calibre? It’s one heck of a database application, which will also sync to your reader as well as convert from one format (say Kindle MOBI or Nook ePUB) to another (those that aren’t protected by DRM).
You should sign up for the daily newsletter at pixelofink.com — I signed up about 2 weeks ago and I’ve already downloaded over 100 free books since. And that’s just the ones I thought I would be interested in, there were many others that were free that I didn’t bother to download. Each daily email will have links to Amazon and B&N free and bargain books, and many are detective and sci-fi. Got a free Vince Flynn novel the other day!
