I'm a huge science/technology fan, however, and one major concern of mine is the disproportionate availability of non-fiction. Am I simply making a premature, uneducated observation? Do you know any good non-fiction sources? By the way, I'm also a ginormous sci-fi junkie. Could you recommend a few books/authors for me if you get a spare moment?
Off the top of my head:

http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page
http://fictionwise.com/
http://www.baen.com/
http://manybooks.net/
http://www.munseys.com/

I usually don't read non-fiction on my eBook reader. Most of my non-fiction reading needs to be more up-to-date than what's available for eBooks. But for computer books, O'Reilly (http://www.oreilly.com/) has many of their books available as PDFs that are (sometimes) readable on the iLiad.
