For me ...
1) Cheap, well-formatted "classic books" from Amazon
2) Borrow books from my library via Overdrive
3) Extremely easy to buy and download a book for my Kindle
I don't worry about collections. Just go by author.
Unfortunately, a lot of the independent stuff I've run into isn't really worth reading. A lot of it reminds me of the old "vanity press" books.
(I back up my Amazon books on Calibre. I also format books bought from other sources (usually ePub) for the Kindle, via Calibre.)
