To be included on this list;

1. No DRM.
2. No Georestrictions.
3. Multiformat - PDF the only single-format allowed, otherwise a PC-readable format and either ePub or MOBI.
4. Pricing for novels not over $10 (Technical and specialist books can be higher).
Added: 5. Does not claim to restrict user rights in illegal ways

To start the list:

Webscriptions - Baen, E-Reads, Nightshade Books, SRM Publisher, Subterranean Press
Closed Circle - CJ Cherryh, Jane Fancher, Lynn Abbey
O'Reilly - O'Reilly (technical books)

Gogo people posting additions!
All these are Publisher / Author stores

It is the Publishers or Authors that make the geo-restrictions.

These are the good guys, who just want to sell books
