Q. I just got a kindle from Amazon,but most of the books I want to purchase(especially the free ones)will say that I'm not in the region. How can I purchase then? I also tried to change my address to the United states but I need an address and I don't live there?
A. This may be a stupid question, but are you shopping at Amazon's US site or the UK site?
Also, a lot of the free books are in the public domain. these can be found in Kindle format at gutenberg.org and manybooks.net, among others. You have to download them and transfer them to the Kindle via USB, but it's pretty easy.
How to find a book file and transfer it to my pc from my kindle fire?
Q. I've tried hooking my kindle up with a usb & searching through its files, but no luck finding any of the books I've purchased; where are the books stored when you buy them- currently, the book folder appears to be empty when I look at it with my kindle hooked up to my pc; however, when I'm on my kindle, it's full. How do I locate these books?
A. You would need the PC kindle app for that purpose just get it. Register it to your account and than go to manage account and send the book to your PC.
Is an Amazon KIndle good for someone who wants to start to read?
Q. I really don't like to read but I want to start. Is the Kindle a good place to start?
A. I own the Kindle 2, so let me give you some of my opinions about it. I've to say I love it! I think I've read over 30 books with my Kindle, no glitches so far! Kindle books are cheaper than actual books and I think I've saved over $100 for the books I've bought on the Kindle.
Other than books being cheaper, I thinkit can definitely help you to start and like reading because of the benefits it brought to us. At the beginning I did miss a bit on the feeling of reading books. But now I love to hold the Kindle, the e-ink seems to work very well, it is really like reading books... Now I often read with the Kindle for several hours but I don't feel tired... And I now prefer to manage all books inside the Kindle rather than my never big enough bookshelf... And like to do bookmarking, annotation, dictionary lookup without any additional thing but a Kindle. You can get a cover to protect the Kindle as well, so it will not be easy to break it ;)
One of the reasons I love my Kindle is that it has helped me improve a lot on my efficiency and utilize my time. Before I have the Kindle, waiting time like when I'm waiting for friends or waiting for shuttle bus or some thing like that is simply wasted. Now I just need to bring the Kindle 2 along with me, and all my favorite books are inside it. Another thing I like the most is the text-to-speech function, which means I can "read" books without even holding or looking at the Kindle. Now I like to use this function when I've myself busy on some boring things, say when I'm on the step machine or doing some housework...
There are quite a lot of free books (tips: if you're outside the U.S. all the books will have US$2 added, but when you choose to download to computer when you check out, the $2 will be waived, and you can copy the books to your Kindle through USB cable), and many Kindle books, magazines and newspapers are cheaper than the actual paper version. I remember I read these reviews about the benefits of the Kindle when I decided to buy it:

Finally, in case you don't know, Amazon has just put a price slash on the Kindle 2, and it is now selling $100 cheaper than the price I got my Kindle, and it adds in international wireless access and native PDF support... So take the chance if you want it.
Hope it helps :)
