By far, the easiest method of reading e-books for me has been to buy from ereader.com and read on the Palm. Downside is that many technical books are not available there (only the CodeNotes publications).

To be honest, I buy my books in LIT, break the DRM, load into Book Designer, and format. It's not hard and takes hardly any time. Most of the formatting is fixing what BD thinks are titles or subtitles that are not.
And formatting some Project Gutenberg books can take some time, but it's worth it. I'm planning on an omnibus starting maybe next week. I won't be home much on the 4th and the weekend. So I won't be doing much formatting. But, I'll be doing a lot more reading.
