Baen is awesome, if you're a geek like me.

Yes, the BoB site is a bit clunky. What I really like about them is that they accept PayPal, since I don't have a credit card. I know Fictionwise does too, but they make Paypal users do 'immediate' payment, which means you need a CC after all.
What I don't like about BoB is not being able to get non-DRM files (I'd read somewhere that they do have DRM-free stuff, but it must be for U.S. customers only). This makes it hard to integrate with Calibre; I've found a workaround by dragging the files directly to the Reader, but it's a bit of a pain.
So Baen remains the coolest for me: great reads, lots of free stuff, advance e-books with their Webscription service, and a no-DRM philosophy (
partly explained here).
