MobiPocket seems to be rapidly becoming the "de facto" standard for DRM-d eBooks.
I have had a look at Baen. Either I am completely useless (quite possible!) or they have a VEY limited list of books. I didn't find there Ysabel by G.G. Kay, The Terror by Dan Simmons etc. Maybe I was looking at wrong place?
