They offer ePub or PDF downloads for all of the titles I've looked at so far. Seems like the best of both worlds.
I can't tell yet if the epub source is independently generated by them in all cases, or if they get this from publishers or a clearing house (at least for books available for purchase). I purchased a book and am comparing samples of others to try to figure that out. Haven't seen any scanning typos or formatting glitches, but it does look different than samples from, say, B&N (for example headings are left justified instead of centered).
And did I mention the web viewer works pretty well on K3?
