You can pirate books. Use Calibre and build your library. I have over 2000 books. Doesn't take much storage either.
That's what I do. Wanna share some? Maybe we could do a swap of our favorite 10 or something.
And you can still read them on your Kindle, too. You just convert the epubs to the kindle format (using Calibre), then plug your Kindle into your computer. So easy, why would I ever buy a book again?
Or even better setup your kindle e-mail address in Calibre and e-mail the books to the personal document cloud. That way the books will sync to all your kindle devices and the kindle app.
Wow, I didn't know this was possible!
You can just send epubs to your kindle.
