First off,
I'm cheap.
I can read a book in 2-3 days, or used to until the arrival of our son nearly 5 years ago.
I'm not too selective but tend towards Sci-Fi.
I seem to have given up reading for audiobooks since I got the 700 title 10 DVD set from http://www.audiobooksforfree.com. It's $100 and that's not really free but I have been listening to it for nearly two years to and from work and am now up to the letter H. And up to book 15 in the OZ series which are great to fall asleep to

My books come from sources that supply legal free ebooks in .rb, .imp .htm (html), .doc and .txt formats.

Sources include,
http://www.gutenberg.org I have the 2006 DVD and the Sci-Fi CD.
http://www.baen.com look for the free library, books are available in .rb!
http://baencd.thefifthimperium.com/ 30 Cds that contain many Baen Sci-Fi series books. There is quite a bit of overlap so check the CD contents before downloading them all. Books are in in .rb format among others.
http://www.munseys.com/site/home I've never actually downloaded a book from this site.
http://www.starrigger.net/Downloads.htm#Eternity Books by author Jeffrey Carver, Sci-Fi of course.
http://www.smashwords.com/ I've never actually downloaded a book from this site.

Since I'm lazy and get books in html or .rb, I use the eBookwise Librarian for my conversion and transfer. It works for both my EBW1150 and my REB1200. For the Rockets, I use the program that can with them, I don't remember the name just now.
