I use B&N, too. I download books using the PC app and import them into Calibre, though the PC app has been kind of spotty lately and that concerns me a little. One reason I like B&N is that there doesn't seem to be a limit to the number of times any book can be downloaded, while some other stores have unpublished limits (often three or six depending on publisher).
I also like ebooks.com. They still carry PDFs when available and that's actually my preferred format. Furthermore, you can download all available formats with a single purchase. The downside is that they're full retail price all the way, so they only get my business when I
really want a PDF or when the book is from a publisher that forces everyone to sell at the same price. As a kind of aside, their Adobe system must be configured differently than everyone else's because you can download a book multiple times to multiple Adobe IDs (I haven't activated Digital Editions with an email address, so each of my computers has a different ID).
