Let's talk about shops!

I've always wondered which sources people tend to turn to, including official channels, when looking for ebooks. Fictionwise has earned a firm place on my list, and I know of other stores like BooksOnBoard and so forth, but have never really tried them because of the hassle of setting up different accounts.

Where do you guys tend to buy? In your experience, where are the best places to buy from, esp. as regards DRM, activation, and all those niggling little customer service issues you can't really know until you lose a download or find that the book isn't working?

I use Fictionwise - I started out with Mobipocket on a pocket PC and recently moved to eReader on my iPhone. I chose Fictionwise because they accept PayPal - simple as that. I used to work for an internet business and I know from experience that buying stuff with a credit card on-line, particularly if that business is located outside your own country, is not as safe as people would have you think.

Fictionwise have a pretty good range, and their Micropay rebates mean that if I'm having a bad week, I can treat myself to a free book.
