 Best Sellers?

Can anyone recommend a site where I can download NY Times Best Sellers in Ebook format? Most of the sites I have visited have relatively unknown authors.

We're still in the early days of ebooks, so there's a limited selection. The two companies above do offer some NY Times bestsellers - for example, Qvadis has Seth Godin's "Ideavirus" business book, and Mike Verano's "Healing the Inner Worker"; Fictionwise has a lot of select science fiction from bestselling authors. Just hold on, though...there should be more titles coming.

If you are a science fiction fan then FictionWise.com is the best. I've read all of their Harlan Ellison and Robert Silverberg stuff. They have novels now but i really prefer reading short stories on my Visor. FictionWise has a lot of Hugo and Nebula award winning stories and I think I've read them all. Also try Peanut Press. You have to use their reader (its pretty good) but they have some excellent stuff. More pricey but worth it.
