My criteria for buying ebooks:
1. Price - I will buy the cheapest copy I can find. Agency 6 books are all the same price price, so...
2. Availability - some books are only available from one seller. i.e. Joe Abercrombie - First Law series. I could only find it in ebook form at amazon
3. Format - I prefer buying ePub books. Less likelihood of conversion errors. I once converted a .lit file to ePub and 2/3rds of the book was converted into italics.
4. Anywhere-but-Amazon. Not that I hate Amazon. I just want as much choice of sellers as possible. Amazon already has a huge customer base, so I try to support smaller sellers: i.e. diesel, kobo, etc. I hate what the agency six have done to competition. I doubt I will ever forgive them for what they did to Fictionwise.
