I completely agree with the quote below, but the (legal) books there do not constitute a critical mass in my opinion. We need far more ebooks. Now if you would count the huge underground servers, well maybe we will be closing to that critical mass, though even with those we would missing a lot. What I am wishing is to have (almost) all fiction published in english (and other major languages of course) say before 1996 just to put an arbitray cutoff date on backlist as very cheap drm-free ebooks and then we talk...

Fictionwise offers many good books for reasonable prices.

Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head but there are more.

Then you have independant authors who make their books available through their web sites.

And that doesn't include the sources where you can get "unofficial" eBook versions of pBooks.
