Scott asks where I’m finding books, and how I’m getting them onto the Kindle.
Naturally, I buy the occasional book from Amazon. That’s really convenient; the books arrive wirelessly, they are backed up on Amazon’s site, and I can re-download them any time I like.
I also download books from ManyBooks.net and FeedBooks.com. These I usually download to my laptop and copy to the Kindle using a USB cable.
Finally, as I indicated in my previous post I’ve been reading books from the Baen Free Library, and these I arrange to have e-mailed to my Kindle. That’s right; e-mailed. Amazon provides a service whereby you can mail documents to your Kindle’s e-mail address (it has one) and it will convert them and send them wirelessly to the Kindle. In theory this costs something like 15 cents a megabyte, but to date I’ve never been charged. The folks at the Baen Free Library have latched on to this; instead of downloading the book in Kindle format, you can simply have them e-mail it. You need to do a little set-up work: Amazon will only accept e-mailed documents from the e-mail addresses you specifically enable. It’s easily done, and Baen provides a link that tells you how to do it.
Anything else, Scott?

That’s awesome. I’ll try the copy function, never done did it yet. Keep me in the loop on any new things you find, too. I’m sure it’s going to keep growing, I’m just too slow to keep up with it anymore.
Did I tell you I love this thing? Man, I love this thing.

Copying’s really easy; it’s just another USB drive that happens to look like a book reader. There’s a particular folder you need to drop the e-book in, but it’s pretty obvious.
