After some research here is what I have found. The Jewish Publication Society (jewishpub.org), a company that a former rabbi of mine recommended as a creditable source for books offers a lot of books in ebook form, via Adobe Digital Editions (ADE). ADE covers a lot of the readers out there however not all of them, it is compatible with - in alphabetical order: Aluratek Libra Pro, Barns and Nobles Nook, Kobo and Sony. Notice that Amazon kindle is missing from the list and this is just the major readers that are mentioned here on these forums, I add the Aluratek to the list even though its not one of the major ones since I own one of those. I belive that Calibre will convert between formats so if you own a kindle there will be an extra step in there for you. I have bought from them in the past many years ago, I bought a Takanah and a Sidur from them, my Rabbi thought both were a tad on the Othodox side for a Reform congregation, but since then I have fallen in with a Conservative congregation where the rabbi would preferr a bit more of the book in hebrew but the text is ok. The siddur is a little old fashion for both congregations but as a general rule its ok.

Anyone care to mention some of the Jewish organizations you visit on the internet. I typically visit Aish.com and Jewishpub.org, my Rabbi use to tell me that Aish is a tad on the radical side for his tates but their ok.
