I bought my parents one that is fancier with a color screen etc. but I think the screen is too reflective to read comfortably and I like mine better. There are all different types of kindles and prices. Once you have the kindle, you can download ebooks from amazon. If your kindle has wifi you can download them directly to your kindle. You can also download ebooks from your library. There are millions of books available. I frequently go to amazon and look at the top 100 free ebooks and download one for free that I think would be interesting. They are usually fun to read and it is a great way to try out different authors. When I first got the kindle(it was a present from my daughter)I didn't think I would like it because I liked the feel of a real book or paperback but I have quickly got over that. What I really like the most about it is I can take my kindle on trips and I usually have over 60 books on it that I haven't read so I can pick any type of reading I would like and I don't have to fill my suitcase full of books. Another good thing is if you find an author you like, it is easy to look at Amazon and find all the books he or she has written and if you have a wifi connection you can download another of their books in about a minute. Hope that helps.

JP, what is the model name of the Kindle you have? I have one of the original ones. It has a leather cover so I can open it like book, but no light in the cover. My husband has a Kindle Touch. I would like one eventually with a built in light but don't want a Kindle Fire as I don't like reading the backlit ones (like reading books on my iPad, for instance.)
