I got a Kindle 2 e-reader a few months ago. It's put out by Amazon.
Not only does Amazon have a huge number of free/inexpensive titles that you can download directly to the Kindle via WhisperNet (no computer required), but there are literally MILLIONS of free titles available via the Internet.
Those files would need to be downloaded to the computer and then transferred over to the Kindle via (special purpose) USB cable. The USB cable comes with the Kindle as it also serves as a charging cable. A charge last a LONG time on the Kindle so long as you don't have WhisperNet active.
Kindles can hold up to 1500 titles at a time. I am a voracious reader and the Kindle gives me access to all sorts of books I can't find elsewhere or that went out of print ages ago.
Plus, I don't have the space for 'paper' books
