books at Amazon. Type in "free kindle books" and choose books for the "search" option instead of the Kindle store. Tons of books and I've found new authors by getting free books.

Also - you can download samples of many books which consist of a couple of chapters to see how you like the book before you buy it.

I hope you got a cover for the Kindle so it doesn't get scratched. If you didn't and are looking for one try the mCover (if they have it to fit the original Kindle). It's pretty good and a lot cheaper than the Amazon cover.
