Where to buy books
I've been scouring the site for a while and I haven't found this yet so I'll post it here.

Where do you all buy your books? I have a PRS-505 (brand new!) and I don't mind doing conversions from Mobi, LIT, txt, or anything else.

Where are you getting the deals? Which sites have the most content? Where do you get free stuff (legal, of course)?

Is there a combined list somewhere on this forum?

To start, you might check the Wiki list of stores here: https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/E-book_stores

Oh I forgot to check the Wiki. I also found another post that had some links from users as well. Thanks to both of you. I have bought from fictionwise in the past.

Someone should add www.booksonboard.com for a great range of .lit ebooks that are cheap as well.

Ha. You know, the fun part of a wiki is, that anyone can edit it. In fact, the general idea is to edit a wiki as you see fit (allways to improve, of course!). So the best way of getting the booksonboard link in the wiki, is to put it there yourself.

Being a nice guy who likes some exercise, I added it for you to the wiki

Sorry I did not know...thought you had to be a forum administrator or something.

Thanks.
