Can anyone recommend a decent place for eBooks?
Discussion
Now I don't want to go into the eBook vs real book debate!
However, I have bought a Nook recently and it's brilliant. I'm barely ever at home and like to carry at least half a dozen books with me so it's a very practical solution.
However I've found out that the built-in book store is slightly lacking in what it offers.
Apart from Amazon, are there any other eBook stores people use? Ideally fairly reasonably priced and with a decent selection. If not I'll go to Amazon.
Thanks!

On my Nook I have about 38 books and hardly used any memory.
6 from the local library, if they operate like our local one, you will need to load something like Adobe Digital Editions onto your PC/laptop, download the ebooks in epub format to that and then copy them across to the Nook. Each library service has their own system. Ours loans them for three weeks, and the books are automatically returned at the end of the loan. You can return them early. If you haven't finished the book then the only way is to hope that nobody has reserved it, find a quiet time, return book and immediately borrow it again. If I can manage it easily, then anyone can.
3 books that I received free from Sainsburys ebooks due to getting a voucher or something from the store.
2 purchased from WHSmiths
1 from Waterstones
Rest free from Project Gutenberg,
When I was doing a rail trip I loaded the pdfs of Bradshaw's guide that Michael Portillo used on his TV series. PDFs are hungry on memory though.
