The best e-book source I have yet found is Baen Books - a sci-fi publisher - who has been selling e-versions at a healthy discount for several years. Books are available in a number of formats, and are easily loaded and read on any type of PDA (which comes in very handy for boring meetings when a semblence of attention is desireable - nobody questions apparently making notes on your devices.) If more sources used a similar plan, I would go to even more e-books. The only drawback is reading the PDA screen in bright sunlight.By the way, your site & content is not too bad for a lib type site! Amazon has to be dreaming if they think their plan will fly.
