Answers.Text: The problem is that you will find very few free ebooks which are formatted properly for e-ink devices like the Voyager. (Oreilly books and Packt books do so well, but not too many others). You might check out the programming books on Smashwords (and sort by free) by the formatting for these books might not be good. (and also the smashwords ebooks are generally of lower quality -- though there are many exceptions). https://www.smashwords.com/books/category/655

  Depends on a lot of things.
  
  First, are you using an eink version of a kindle? or a Kindle Fire?
  
  If you are using e-ink (and therefore can't use pdf easily), I would recommend buying ebooks from Oreilly or Packt Publishing. They're very expensive, but at least they will format properly for an eink device.
  
  (by the way, both companies have pretty good sales (and occasional free downloads), so I would recommend signing up for their email list.
  
  If you have a Kindle Fire, then all you need to do is to download a PDF reader app (there are many -- don't try to read things with the Kindle app).
  
  You may be limited by what you can afford, but because PDFs are not reflowable, you want to get a fairly good screen size to read them. You need at least 8 inch screen in my opinion. If you buy smaller, the text size will be hard to read. (There's a zoom function in smaller devices, but it's inconvenient).
  
  Try <http://openbookproject.net/thinkcs/> for a good (and famous) introduction to basic structures (using python as an example). I recommend this for starting out. Here's the pdf of the latest version <http://www.ict.ru.ac.za/Resources/cspw/thinkcspy3/>
  
  (Older editions of this book in other computer languages are here: <http://www.openbookproject.net/thinkcs/archive/> ).
