What's the best move against d4
I think that it is fairly common for a player to be advised to first learn the Queen's Gambit Declined. If nothing else, it is probably going to be easier to find recent introductorry opening books like First Steps: The Queen's Gambit

and The Queen's Gambit Declined: Move by Move.

It might be a good idea to consider Discovering Chess Openings by GM John Emms (2006).

I like to play 1...N-KB3 against 1. P-Q4. I'll usually play a Kings Indian Defence

Considering youre losing to players rated 600-800, forget about openings. This is what you need to work on.
Opening Principles:
1. Control the center squares – d4-e4-d5-e5
2. Develop your minor pieces toward the center – piece activity is the key
3. Castle
4. Connect your rooks
Tactics...tactics...tactics...
Pre Move Checklist:
1. Make sure all your pieces are safe.
2. Look for forcing move: Checks, captures, threats. You want to look at ALL forcing moves (even the bad ones) this will force you look at, and see the entire board.
3. If there are no forcing moves, you then want to remove any of your opponent’s pieces from your side of the board.
4. If your opponent doesn’t have any of his pieces on your side of the board, then you want to improve the position of your least active piece.
5. After each move by your opponent, ask yourself: "What is my opponent trying to do?"
