I have been getting a lot of books from baen.com from their free library as well as some you can purchase and download.

Pros:
- All of the files are available without DRM.

Cons:
- I have to use some perl scripts to bump up the font size on the rtf files and have to manually add the author / title information so the Reader can see it.

For me, getting the book without DRM is the biggest issue. It is not that I want to pirate the books, but rather I want to be able to read the books I purchase for years to come. While the Reader is good now, I want my library to transfer to whatever electronic book I use in the future.
