Just wanted to add that I believe Fictionwise Multiformat books area also DRM-free and Fictionwise is very friendly to small publishers like BooksForABuck.com. For me this is especially good news on the Sony front because Sony, unlike Amazon/Kindle/Mobipocket, creates some cost barriers to small publishers wishing to publish through the Sony Connect system. On the downside, many big-publisher books offered by Fictionwise are DRM and are not part of their Multiformat collection. For these books, you'll have to stick with Sony Connect or Amazon.
