Most of the 600+ ebooks I have were purchased directly from Baen. I purchase each month's books from their site directly. The reasons why I support Baen are as follows:
1. Can purchase all the books released for that month together.
2. They are DRM free and in multiple formats.
3. They publish stories I like to read.
While I do purchase some ebooks that have DRM, I try to limit the number. I am in the middle of cataloging my book collection (approximately 5000 books total), in the last year I purchased 300+ books, only 29 were paper books. The remainder were ebooks, e-magazines, and audio books. Since January 1, I have not purchased a single paper book, all have been ebooks or audiobooks.
The reason I have switched to ebooks is that I am running into a storage problem and it is easier to store ebooks than pbooks.
