Where can I get digital books?
I’m planning to buy a Sony Reader very soon (sometime mid-January).
I know Sony has a bookstore, but some complain that its book selection is thin, and prices are almost as high as Amazon’s books’ for Kindle. And then there’s an issue with “if I lose my connection while downloading a book, I won’t have a book or money back” (I’ve read this one somewhere, too).
The only other place I know is fictionwise.com
And, yes, I did check out Google Books. Still can’t figure out how that one works.
Any other suggestions?
Here is where you can get ebooks for the Sony Reader:

However, I’ll say the Kindle 2 instead of Sony Reader. Read here to know more:

I own the Kindle 2 and I like it very much. It is better than Sony Reader because Amazon provide good content support, and the number of books available in Kindle format is kept on increasing (right now there are 300,000 Kindle books). Sony Reader, however, many users complain that it is difficult to find suitable books.
And the main problem is that books on Sony Reader are much more expensive than that on the Kindle (tips: if you’re outside the U.S. all the Kindle books you see will have a price of US$2 added. But if you choose to download to computer when you check out, the $2 will be waived. So you can get the books US$2 cheaper even if you’re outside the United States, and you can copy the books to your Kindle through USB cable). And many Kindle books, magazines and newspapers are cheaper than the actual paper version. Other benefits of the Kindle over Sony Reader include the free wireless internet access (now available internationally in many countries), and the text-to-speech function.
BTW, there are some websites like these two, where you can find more than ten thousand free books readable on both the Sony Reader and the Amazon Kindle. So no need to go to library to borrow them, you can actually own them:

And you know, Amazon gave a price drop for the Kindle 2 just before Xmas. It is now at a really good price.
Hope this helps.
