Where do you buy your ebooks?

I'm interested in knowing not only from which ebook publisher you purchase, but also from where you purchase your mass market ebooks. Amazon? Eharlequin? Ebookwise?

Let me know... who has the best deals out there for purchasing html? Cause I'm pretty lazy these days, and don't really want to go to a ton of trouble to convert anything I don't have to for my ebookwise. *sigh* But I will if I have to...... for the right price.

Mostly I go to the publisher, i.e., Samhain and eharlequin. I also purchase from BooksOnBoard.com and AllRomanceEBooks.com as well. I find I rarely buy from Fictionwise or Ebookwise. I generally find better deals elsewhere. *shrug*

Like Anne, I find better deals at Books On Board or through the publishers direct. I still find for most things BoB is the better way to go.

I'll admit I've gotten lazy and buy most of my ebooks at eBookwise. There isn't a Librarian to convert HTML books for a Mac so it's just easier to buy directly from the website. Like I said, lazy.

Linda -

do you know you can upload your books to your personal content area? You can only upload so many, then transfer them to your ebookwise, and then delete them from your content area, and then you have free space again.

Here are the links:

So, question... when you buy at Books on Board, o you buy in PDF (is it a secure pdf?) or do you buy in MS Reader. Either way, it seems you have to convert the file for the ebookwise, right?

I mean I have the converter for MS Reader, and can convert a PDF no prob, but it's still an extra step...
