A lot of RPG books are out of print but still available through "ebook malls" -- RPGNow, Warehouse e23, and DriveThru RPG. I can find books there that I can't find anywhere else, and in the first two cases they're far cheaper.

I've never purchased fiction this way, though, only gaming books. I have a handful of ebooks from the Baen Free Library, but I do most of my reading on public transit, which doesn't do me any good until I can afford a laptop.

I've purchased out of print and hard to come by books in this manner too--that's how I was able to obtain them. Sometimes I see them sold on ebay for a reasonable price and I'll happily buy.

You can pick up a cheap palmOS or windows CE machine for <$100 now. If all you're doing is reading e-texts it's plenty powerful.

Heck I have an old Palm or two I don't use, somewhere....
