For desktop use it is ADE.
If you use their BAM Reader2 you have to download the books through iTunes.

Thanks....with BN's continuing spiral, well, another source of epubs is necessary. There is always Google, but, well, I might as well support a little guy (relatively speaking). For those books not available DRM free....

And BAM still has that lovely "Download" button.

I buy mostly from Baen, all books DRM free and Amazon. With Amazon I strip the DRM and side load them to my HD+.

If you keep buying luxury items, then apparently you can afford them. Books as entertainment are one of those luxury items. If you want luxury bad enough, you pay for it. If you can't pay for it, maybe there is affordable libraries (possibly free)?

eBooks.com and OmniLit also do DRM'd ePub's, although at last check OmniLit doesn't have all big publishers.

Now that is a good question.
Does anybody use Blio?

Also, I was wandering the Windows store and I noticed, iSilo is still around...

Next thing you know, Tomeraider will be back in business.

Blio shares its platform with Axis 360 (the OD competitor). Blio is also a whitelabel solution that is used by almost no one.

The last part is what I knew.
I didn't know they were *that* tight with Axis360.
So, more than an Amazon wannabe they're an Overdrive wannabe.

As I understand it, Axis360 was what B&T did with Blio after it proved spectacularly unsuccessful in the consumer market.

I don't buy Australia published books or ebooks, they're too expensive. I purchase them from other countries. For physical books: Amazon in the US, Book Depository in US/UK. Ebooks: Amazon, Kobo, Smashwords

When it is significantly cheaper to purchase a physical book overseas and have is shipped to Australia, then someone is doing some mispricing.
