Greg, there are so many public domain books, it's crazy.
Some of the very best history books are those that were written shortly (30-50 years) after major events. I've found that if I look real hard, some aren't even emotionally biased. That's VERY hard to find among old history books.
I've read as many of the classics as I've been able to tolerate, and I've got loads of free ones waiting.
Even if you don't read a ton, these Kindles are timeless.
A first generation Kindle is much as wonderful as these new ones, so long as it had a cover with a light.
Furthermore, you and the wife can share, G. I guess amazon members can twin their accounts together now and share all their digital content among the family.
That's a big deal.
