I purchase at the cheapest place (even with Agency Pricing books are still not priced the same) and disinfect and convert as needed. After being burned in the past I do NOT rely on retailers to keep my purchased books on their servers. I immediately download, disinfect and load into Calibre. My PC is backed up nightly to a home server and continuously to the cloud. My server has a fireproof, waterproof backup for specific critical information which includes my ebook library.
Hopefully, I'm future proofed against the hardware developments. I'll probably won't reread most of my books but I consider them to be *my* books and want to maintain access.
Most of the online bookstores are horrible to browse. They're fine if you are looking for a particular title but if you're searching for *something* but are not sure exactly what then it's far more difficult to find that elusive *something*. I have the most luck at Amazon then Fictionwise. IMO, B&N, Sony, Kobo, and BoB are too difficult to just browse so I only go there if the price is right.
