I like Fictionwise a lot.

You can also get PDF books at Books on Board.

Apart from ordinary PDF, Adobe also does a DRM-protected PDF-based e-book that requires their special e-book reader software to read. The Neverwhere giveaway is in that format.

If you mean DRM versus DRM-free, then Fictionwise and BoB sell DRM'd books.

I've gone ahead and reviewed both the Fictionwise library and my local Overdrive library.

How do you like the Archos 5? I was thinking of getting one but was waiting to see how people felt about it.
