What are people's go-to for eBook buying stores? Preferably DRM free.

I try to not buy Kindle books but I usually end up back there as it's either much cheaper (not just slightly) or can only be found there.

I usually just borrow e-books from the library, download as epub and strip the DRM from the file so I can read it, and return the eBook to the library right away for the next person to borrow it.

I'm too lazy, I just borrow from the library and use them on the device. Stripping the DRM takes some level of effort, and I don't intend to keep the books anyway, so I just let the DRM do its thing and turn off the wifi so they don't disappear until I'm done w/ them.

Works fine on my SO's Kindle, and I'm considering getting a Kobo and hope it'll work there.
