So many people rail against having a Kindle and buying books solely from 
Amazon.

There are so many other possibilities:
- free books from many sources
- music (in a limited way)
- manuals for things such as my camera, phone, etc.
- e-book copies of things such as my O'Reilly reference books (only $4.95 
each)
- VMS manuals!
- various Word documents, e.g. large draft documents for meetings, to 
save printing them for one use

The free Amazon conversion service is pretty good, too.
