Thanks for your feedback TKS.
For all its worth here is some info I found:
Knowing where to buy eTextbooks is one of the biggest challenges to embracing digital books. You can find some stuff on Amazon and the iBookstore, but right now there’s really not a great one-stop shop that has every eTextbook you’ll ever need. This isn’t a comprehensive list, but we got the best results for both physical and digital books from these sites:
•Barnes and Noble
•Amazon Kindle Store
•Kno
•CourseSmart
•eCampus
•Zinio
•CafeScribe

However what I'm after is academic papers and industry reports ... if anyone has come across anything (or especially has access to, say via a uni/college library account) ... would be grateful.
