Marrije recommends bookshop.org, and they support local bookstores too. Winning!

What do you use for buying ebooks? I am looking for a website that sends you a download link I can forward to my Kindle. I am using boekenwereld.com for Dutch books, and it's great. I'd like an English book so every now and then too ;-)
