And all of the others

Almost every book seller has eBook offerings.

Keep things simple. (But…)

Booksellers often offer free eBooks with print books (or visa versa). Take advantage of the offers.

Free books are often offered by iBooks, Amazon, and Barnes and Noble, but these are for personal use, not for libraries.
