VitalSource Bookshelf

They claim this is like iTunes for ebooks. Prices start at 99 cents but go up from there. I let you know more tomorrow. If they can pull this off and make buying, downloading and reading ebooks a no brainer it might boost ebook popularity. No word on formats.

Looks like yet another ebook format (VBK)...I'm not sure I see how this is better. I can't find anything that explains whether these books are "portable" (i.e., can transfer to different hardware I own) or if they're tied to the specific hardware.

I do not think it is portable. You would have to read it on their reader, which is a problem.
