Hadrien made excellent points, and thanks for the tip on the free eBooks.
The sister-site of my eBookstore is an Indy eBookstore,
www.DPPstore.com, fueled by the independent spirit and a do-it your own way mentality. All of their PDF's are readable on the Sony eInk devices. They are protected but not DRM'ed and they also have a very nice selection of FREE eBooks... Also on the free and public domain tip: don't forget Project Guttenberg - Huge selection if difficult to navigate, offering many formats!
But if you are looking for non-public domain titles, such as new releases from big publishers,
www.eBooksAboutEverything.com is still running 10% off storewide

Are these e-book stores aware that a whole lot of books are available in the public domain ?
DRM free for new books is the way to go, look at what's happening with the music industry, even Steve Jobs says that DRM is ruining the industry. People won't steal classics like they did with mp3, these classics are available in a legal way for free, but they DO need new materials for their reader. I understand that it's a really tough job to make them understand what's better for the industry, but now that we've seen the outcome for both the music and video industry, there's a whole lot of example to create a better e-book industry. |
