Best eBook store for scholarly texts

Which ebook store has the widest range of scholarly books for the humanities and social sciences?

I use a Sony PRS-700. In my brief exploration of the Sony ebook store, I have discovered that they have some good selections. However, some selections cost as much as the paper version.

Given the extremely restricted market for such texts, it's not surprising that there's no real difference in price between pBook and eBook. You're not going to find that kind of book for $10 anywhere.

Check publishers websites. Many times you can buy directly from there.

I'm not looking for $10 texts. I'm look for a little discount though. If say the paperback was $20, I'd like to see the digital version offered at $15.

Get this though: some of the digital versions are more expensive than the printed.

One particular one the paperback version is $38. The digital version is $99. Hello???

ebook viable my foot.
