You can put text document and it is one of the native readable format of Kindle. You need to buy Kindle books to get them on your Kindle, though there are books in public domain that you can get it for free. There are over 4000 such free books you can found in Amazon:

Yes, you can connect Kindle 2 to your computer using USB cable, and drag and drop any file into your Kindle. But only file format supported can be opened in Kindle. There are a number of formats supported though, and you can convert many file format to Kindle format for free using any computer with Internet connection.

Personal Documents
Kindle makes it easy to take your personal documents with you, eliminating the need to print. Each Kindle has a unique and customizable e-mail address. You can set your unique email address on your Manage Your Kindle page. This allows you and your approved contacts to e-mail Word, PDF documents, and pictures wirelessly to your Kindle for a small per document fee–currently only 10¢ per document. Kindle supports wireless delivery of unprotected Microsoft Word, PDF, HTML, TXT, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, PRC and MOBI files.
You can email your PDFs wirelessly to your Kindle. Due to PDF’s fixed layout format, some complex PDF files may not format correctly on your Kindle.
If you are not in a wireless area or would like to avoid the fee, you can send attachments to "name"@free.kindle.com to be converted and e-mailed to your computer at the e-mail address associated with your Amazon.com account login. You can then transfer the document to your Kindle using your USB connection. For example, if your Kindle email address is Jay@Kindle.com, send your attachments to Jay@free.kindle.com.
