Of course, it's well within their right to snub indies. And I'm not saying that it's a lousy bookstore for you if you like it. I'm just saying that it obviously isn't going to meet my needs.
Where stores get their ebooks:

Omni-lit carries a number of smaller publishing houses, as well as the major ones, you can register there yourself, but they also get ebooks through Overdrive.

BoB gets its books through Overdrive (as well as Lightning Source?) Kobo requires its own registration through. Diesel gets its ebooks through Lightning Source, I believe? Powells through Lightning Source and another one whose name escapes me.

I believe that both Overdrive and Lightning Source require tax id numbers.

If you are looking for indie stuff your best bet is most likely Smashwords.

You can adjust what the BoB emails to show only genre's that you like. BoB carries a decent variety in my opinion, but it can take some digging because their website is not the most user friendly, even though they recently redid it.
