  • Has books I want to buy
  • Buying a book buys all formats, can download any format any time.
  • Book prices always (well) below paper prices
  • Notification of updated book files when typos are fixed
  • Passes a large fraction (two thirds or more) of the purchase price onto the publisher/author

Forums like this one would be great for helping to organise bookclubs and general chat. Being able to post a detailed profile would also be great.
It sounds like you want webscription.net. Simple Layout, Straightforward pricing, Baen's bar for chatting. Arnold's very responsive to email.

But although webscription.net is beginning to branch out beyond Baen's offerings, it's still all SF/Fantasy, so unless that's what you like it doesn't help you.
