A few months ago, I got an offer to receive a Kindle Fire from a website where I had "points". Since the device was free, I vowed always to get free books.
I love the fact that books in public domain (the copyright is expired) are free.
I've been re-reading the books of Gene Stratton Porter - I read most of them when I was growing up.
Currently, I am reading Laddie, A True Blue Story.
The author wrote about 100 years ago, so it's a glimpse into lives, mostly rural, and the differences between men's and women's roles at the time.

I'm currently reading "The Gauguin Connection". It's a mystery where the main investigator has a high functioning form of autism. Aside from the usual copy editing issues, the book is good. When a write uses boar instead of boor, I worry about who'd edited the work.

If you have an Amazon Prime membership, you can also borrow books. I believe no more than one per month, but when you have one out on loan, there is no return date. I am currently reading The Bloodletter's Daughter.
P.S. Hope you don't mind that I dropped in, even though I'm not originally from OD. I'm from Diaryland and LiveJournal, under a different name. I found OD when I was looking for a place where no one would know me, came upon an entry that talked about the technical problems and mentioned this site, so I came right here instead.

Why would I mind? I find that the person I exchange notes with the MOST here is not someone i knew from before. I decided not to get Amazon Prime. I might in the future. I have TONS of books both electronic and paper. I just don't feel the need to pay for something extra right now.
