Bummer. Their site was slow, but Kobo's site isn't really a better place as it lacks a shopping cart as far as I can see. BOB was often waaay cheaper than Kobo.
Now I don't have too many options where to buy epubs:
Kobo - Often expensive
Feedbooks - Very good for free ebooks, but limited on big titles. Average price.
Ebooks.com - Good, but not very cheap. Often comparable to Kobo.
Diesel-Ebooks - Comparable to BOB, IMHO.
WHSmith - Just links to Kobo
Waterstones - Doesn't let me buy. I'm not in the UK.
Foyles - Doesn't let me buy. Don't have a UK credit card.
Barnes&Noble - Doesn't let me buy. I'm not in the US (but can select "Netherlands" as credit card company, after which it doesn't accept any address...)
Amazon - Doesn't even sell epubs.
I've found
http://www.booktopia.com.au/, but I haven't tried buying from them. They've got some of the somewhat more obscure / smaller titles and authors I'd like to read.

Also ARe has the "mainstream" version of their store, OmniLit although I've never spent any time browsing there. |
Thanks for that OmniLit link. They accept PayPal, which I prefer over credit card usage, they sell epubs, some of them quite cheap, and they have some interesting titles. Will check it out. I hope they'll sell to the Netherlands.
Is Diesel the owner of OmniLit? Why would they do that, and not just merge the two stores?
