how do you get books for your kindle?

First of all, you can get books (free or paid) from amazon or from various other places on the internet. If you're buying them from amazon, you can access the kindle store directly from your kindle using the 3G connection. You can also connect the kindle to your computer and download books that way.

I have a kindle 2 and I love it! I read lots and lots of books, and it's a great way to carry books with me. Plus, my bookmarks never fall out, and I can take notes on the kindle as I'm reading. :-)

You don't need to plug it into computer. You just turn the wireless function on, go to the store, and order what you want. It downloads into the Kindle in less than a minute. You have to have an account of course, so you can pay for whatever you buy. The wireless access is called Whispernet, and you don't need to have internet access to use it. It's very cool

It's wireless, but I think you can plug it in (I only use the wireless tho).

On the Kindle, when you press the menu button, one of the options is Shop in Kindle Store. You just go there, type your query, or if you just want something to read, browse. It gives you the books in less than half a minute. I'm not exaggerating.

You don't need a computer to use the Kindle. It has free access to 3G networks (like cell-phones), or WiFi if you're not in a coverage area (which is extremely rare). They just announced a new Kindle ($139) yesterday. It's on the front-page of www.amazon.com It ships on the 27th of August. It's extremely good. Buy one.

You don't ever need to plug it into your computer. You buy something online or you can get books for free at netgalley.com and it's automatically sent to your kindle within seconds!

I don't have a kindle but have 2 Sony Readers the 505 and Touch version. I get my books from Waterstones and manybooks.net, here I can get free classics and public domain books.

Amazon sell books for the kindle.

edit: I love my Sony's!
