I've found a lot of great multiformat stuff recently from established authors. It looks like some small SF/fantasy publishers are getting into multiformat e-books at FW. For that reason, if I find something I'm interested in, I sometimes search to find out what else is offered by that publisher. I lucked out because I found the e-book edition of some recent offerings at Prime Books:

For example, they have the Fedarations anthology in multiformat for under $9.00, which is several dollars less than the trade paperback currently in bookstores. They also have a new Clark Ashton Smith collection and an anthology edited by Ellen Datlow. Oh, and I pounced on the Barbara Roden anthology because I "know" her from on-line (through the All Hallows discussion group) but also because I've heard great things about her ghost stories and supernatural fiction. (She has been nominated for the World Fantasy Award and also won WFA awards for editing.)

SF/fantasy publisher Wildside Press has added some multiformat titles recently, including Harry Harrison (Deathworld and Deathworld II):

e-Reads is a great source of SF & fantasy by established authors (novels by Greg Bear, etc.):

Despite their name, Wonder Audiobooks, LLC has some e-books by classic SF authors such as Robert Sheckley:

(These may be titles that have fallen into the public domain, so check Project Gutenberg first. )

Belgrave House started out making e-books of out of print Regency romances, but they now have some OOP mysteries and thrillers:

The Marion Zimmer Bradley Literary Works Trust has some Marion Zimmer Bradley stories (naturally) but also short stories by Mercedes Lackey, Deborah Wheeler, and others (some set on Darkover, some original stories):

Oh, and if you have a strong stomach, I thought Brian McNaughton's Throne of Bones was ... something else. It's a World Fantasy Award winner -- an anthology of linked stories. They are definitely not for everyone as they are fantasy/horror stories that often feature graverobbers, not to mention decaying cannibalistic ghouls who have gruesome sex. The stories have been called Lovecraftian, but others have said they're really closer to Clark Ashton Smith in style. It's also amazing the way a minor character in an earlier story can turn up later, and there is a major surprise concerning the identify of one of the characters.
