Assuming you’re like me, the first thing you’ll want to do is load your device with as many free books as possible. Amazon offers thousands of free e-books in the Kindle Store, which are divided into two sections: popular classics and rotating, limited-time offers.

There are a number of other resources for free e-books outside of the Kindle Store as well. Collectively, millions of titles are available through Project Gutenberg, the Internet Archive (mainly historical items useful for academic work), Open Library, ManyBooks.net, LibriVox (audiobooks), Fictionwise, Bookyards and Planet eBook. In most cases, you’ll need to download the e-books and transfer them to your Kindle using a USB cable. For more information, see here.

In addition, you can port any of your PDF files for reading on your Kindle device, as well as access hundreds of thousands of other (and more contemporary) titles in the Kindle Store, usually priced at $9.99 or less.
