Hi Jill and welcome to MobileRead. The answer is you can buy them and also download them for free from the internet. Usually, you have to buy books still under copyright laws. But check out our Freebies section here https://www.mobileread.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=26 for lots of free books. Books out of copyright are free and there are a ton available on the this site lovingly scanned in by our wonderful members. Check them out here https://www.mobileread.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=132
As for choosing an eBook reader check out our Which One Should I Buy section here https://www.mobileread.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=123 |

Good to have your company, Jill. Do check out the *Which One Should I Buy?* forum before making a choice. Based, as you are, in the US, you will have no problems getting free, cheap and commercial best sellers. Best wishes. Neil

For starters, Project Gutenberg has hundreds of thousands of classics, MobileRead has thousands of Public Doman books. Smashwords.com and a hundred other sites have free contemporary work, free books are legal and all over the net. Every thought of trying Google? Neil

Hello Jill and welcome to MR! I sent you a private message with some links that I use for free books. I knew of some links, and I found lots more through here. You can even download the free books and reading software before you purchase your ereader so you can enjoy reading while you decide on the device you want! Lots of options and as I tell everyone ... welcome to the addiction!
