For UK readers, WHSmiths is an option for buying ebooks and audiobooks. I read a lot of Agatha Christie novels and they are mostly under £3 here which is an excellent price. Had no problems downloading and using. Excellent prices on the new sony readers as well - best I've seen anywhere.
But most of my books come free from feedbooks which I've found to be an excellent source of epub books. Very nicely formatted too. |

It seems you guys seem to go to specific sites for specific formats. Don't you find that annoying?
Wouldn't you prefer one location for all formats? Last edited by Book Depository; 12-01-2009 at 05:58 AM. Reason: don't need URL |

Fictionwise and Webscriptions. I look around at Smashwords occasionally. I don't buy DRM'd ebooks.
I've bought some from Samhain and OmniLit, but their store interfaces drive me buggy; I now wind up looking at books at the publisher's sites, and then checking to see if they've been ported to Fictionwise. (Which usually has better discounts anyway. And more file formats.) |

It's not buying but I'm partial to the Baen Free library. I'm just getting started (dont even have a reader yet) so I haven't compared the regular Baen prices to the same books anywhere else yet.

Baen is the model we wish all ebook sellers would use. Multiple filetypes, no DRM, prices low enough to encourage impulse buys, free samples of everything, and absolutely no fuss about file sharing. (They seem to know that many of their books that aren't in the free library or on the CDs, are available through the darknet. They don't seem consider those "lost sales" any more than they consider yard sales full of books "lost sales.") So far, their method is working. |

Some of the Baen books are available on Fictionwise, e.g. David Weber's Honorverse.

I know what you mean! I feel the same the way too, the reward of actually finding/reading the book you wanted is a lot sweeter when you have to search!!! |
