Free Ebook Reader Should I buy a Kindle if I already have lots of ebooks?
I want an ebook reader but I already have lots of .pdf and .txt files on my computer. These have no drm association etc. Can I put these on a kindle and read them? Can I download books from Project Gutenberg (where they are out of copyright and therefore free) and then put them on my kindle?
Or is a kindle really just for people who want to buy books from Amazon.
Yes, you can read books from Project Gutenberg on the Amazon Kindle device:

For your own PDF and TXT files, they can be read on the Kindle too. See the section "Files Kindle Recognizes" for details:
I own the Kindle 2, so let me give you some of my opinions. I've to say I love it! I think I've read over 30 books with my Kindle, no glitches so far!
One of the reasons I love my Kindle is that it has helped me improve a lot on my efficiency and utilize my time. Before I have the Kindle, waiting time like when I'm waiting for friends or waiting for shuttle bus or some thing like that is simply wasted. Now I just need to bring the Kindle 2 along with me, and all my favorite books are inside it. Another thing I like the most is the text-to-speech function, which means I can "read" books without even holding or looking at the Kindle. Now I like to use this function when I've myself busy on some boring things, say when I'm on the step machine or doing some housework...
I like reading and at the beginning I did miss a bit on the feeling of reading books. But now I love to hold the Kindle, the e-ink seems to work very well, it is really like reading books... Now I often read with the Kindle for several hours but I don't feel tired... And I now prefer to manage all books inside the Kindle rather than my never big enough bookshelf... And like to do bookmarking, annotation, dictionary lookup without any additional thing but a Kindle.
There are quite a lot of free books (tips: if you're outside the U.S. all the books will have US$2 added, but when you choose to download to computer when you check out, the $2 will be waived, and you can copy the books to your Kindle through USB cable), and many Kindle books, magazines and newspapers are cheaper than the actual paper version. I remember I read these reviews about the benefits of the Kindle when I decided to buy it:
Finally, guess you know, Amazon has just put a price slash on the Kindle 2, and it is now selling $100 cheaper than the price I got my Kindle, and it adds in international wireless access... So take the chance if you want it.
Hope it helps
