For me, mainly Fictionwise. I also get a lot from Baen (webscriptions), being a SF geek. I buy from there, even if I can get the book cheaper or with 100% rebate at Fictionwise, because I want to support their model of no-DRM and once the book is yours it's always yours.
I occasionally buy at the Sony store, mainly because I have a gift card I haven't finished up. The books are expensive there and the software you are forced to use to buy from the store is a buggy piece of crap. I will occasionally buy from amazon, if I'm desperate for a book only they carry.
Smashwords is a great source for DRM-free ebooks. However it has a high signal-to-noise ratio of great stuff buried in crap. I find Kobobooks expensive, but they have a few surprises, like many of Mickey Spillane's books available for under $3. I've bought a few books from Waterstone's because they were the only source for those books. However they are expensive, especially for someone paying in dollars.
I assume you've visited the public domain books sites -- feedbooks, manybooks and the ones here in the forum as well.
