Another source is ebooks.com. In addition to the usual bestsellers, they also have good non-fiction books that are hard to locate elsewhere.

Ditto, especially with the frequent coupons. As others have mentioned, be sure to note that they are available in Adobe DRM EPUB format. I bought one recently that SHOULD have been in Adobe DRM EPUB (as the rest of the series was), but wasn't. I had to find a way to pull it out of the Kobo for Android app and make it back into a proper EPUB. I contacted Kobo support, because I'm sure it was an oversight, but they weren't helpful.
I recently got turned on to Books On Board, which others have mentioned. They run pretty good sales from time to time and also have reward dollars for non-agency books. They also carry audiobooks, many in DRM-free MP3 format. You'll have to download them on a PC using Overdrive Media Console, but you can transfer them to any device that supports MP3. |

Don't forget the libraries for ebooks that you can load onto your Sony - Phili free library, Navy library if you have military access, etc.

Have just discovered Booksonboard, they're useful in that it allows you to change your region & download books that may not be available in your region. Doesn't seem to be an issue with it as it allows me to do so Also Booktopia/Google books.
