To be fair, my experience on kindle with a regular account has been:

1. search for book on kindle

2. press buy

3. wait for book to download directly onto kindle

4. read book

I'm not using kindle to find books mind you, generally I already know what I'm after. I get almost all of my recommendations from friends too, it pays to know people who read even more than you do and have similar taste.

Its great when the book is reasonably priced and not obscure. For more obscure books its never clear if the book will be formatted correctly, contain all the content, or even be a legitimate book. I often try the sample and find if lacking and so I find a torrent that is often much higher quality.
