I used it once to download a few freebies. After discovering that calibre is unable to handle LRX files and there is no [easy] way of stripping the DRM, I have never used it again. It also doesn't run on Linux, which means I'd have to use my work PC if I really wanted it. And the store is bloody slow.

These days, I mostly buy from Fictionwise (ms lit, and strip the drm), and a bit from Baen (no drm - serious kodos there).

I voted 'other'.
