Browsing DRM-free books on a bookstore site
I notice that Christian Book lets you select DRM Free under Refine Within eBooks in the left column. That's nice. It allows me to browse through only uncorrupted books first before widening my search.

But I haven't noticed this on any other sites. (Except for Right Brane and O'Reilly, where that's all there is.)

Do any other bookstore sites have a non-DRM browse capability?

I'm not sure how extensively you can browse (other than the free stuff, of course), but all of Baen's books are DRM free, too.

Fictionwise does. Their "multi-format" books are all DRM free. So just browse that.

It's really a shame that they sold out to B&N, otherwise the selection might be wider. But there's still some decent stuff there.

Well, now there's another DRM-free bookstore:

Open Books by calibre.

That is not a bookstore. What it is is a collection of links to DRMless eBooks.
