places to buy e-books

Toxaris · 12-17-2009, 09:51 AM

In anticipation of my soon to get device, I want to compile a list of sites where e-books can be purchased of downloaded.

Several sites I have found on this site already, but I want to make it as complete as possible (maybe it's already there and I missed it). I will keep the latest version of the list in this message.

So, if you know any sites, please let me know. For every site I would like to know the following:

-Name/URL (duh...)
-Genre (if specialized)
-Public Domain or not
-Location (US-based, UK-based, etc)
-Localization restriction (who can buy there)
-Formats delivered

So, input is kindly asked. If I need to add information about sites, please let me know and I will add it. I hope to place a first version of the list later today.
