I'm with cadele and pidgeon92. Mainly buy from Amazon and use Calibre to store a back-up of my ebooks. Immaterial of anything else, Calibre allows for far easier organisation and selection of ebooks than any ereader can possibly give.

The fact there are additional tools you can use to remove DRM are secondary (and I'd look to do this independently of Calibre if needed), but I love that this allows me to convert my books to read them on whichever ereader I want, and buy books from any shop I want.

The ability to edit metadata and insert it at the start of each book so I can get a quick synopsis before I start reading it, and the plugboards that mean I can easily add the series info to the title of books listed on my Kindle are also a very nice feature for me personally.

If Calibre didn't exist, I wouldn't have taken to ereaders quite the same way, I'd certainly be less willing to spend money on ebooks.
