I mainly shop at Smashwords, then Sony, then B&N, and occasionally Kobo. The problem is that there are so many free and very inexpensive books, that I am not spending money on ebooks like I spend on hardcovers. I will buy everything an author has written once I find an author I like, but generally, with ebooks, I am unwilling to spend more than $2.99 on an unknown author and I am so inundated with free and 99 cent ebooks that I rarely have to go beyond them -- until I discover an author I like. Once discovered, I will spend up to $4.99 on an ebook.
I view ebooks as read-once-then-throwaway items. Books that I think are worth keeping I buy in hardcover, although I have come across a few ebooks that are not available in hardcover that are so well-written they are worth keeping.
