The ringwriaths weren't really evil they just were corrupted by the ring. In the end Frodo(who certainly was good) was corrupted by a ring as well.

Yes I agree. The Silmarillion is a great book and I don't find it that hard of a read at all, it has a lot of places and names but thats the only thing hard about it IMO.

Yep, the Nazgul are the "black riders" but later on (After their horses were drowned in the flood outside of Rivendell I think) They were given flying steeds.
