Linen Press
Linen Press is the only independent women’s press in the UK.
Only recently starting to sell e-books direct from their own shop, Linen Press has been publishing "fine writing for women, by women" for about ten years.
Founded by Lynn Michell, their first book, Childhood’s Hill:
"...sold out, was re-printed, and beat Ian Rankin one week in Blackwell’s best sellers."
Their two (for now) e-books are reasonably discounted from their paper counterparts and are sold as a Zip file containing both ePub and Mobi formats.

They publish The Future Fire, a magazine:
"...of beautiful and useful short stories and poetry in Social-political and Progressive Speculative Fiction, Feminist SF, Queer SF, Eco SF, Multicultural SF and Cyberpunk, and an experiment in and celebration of new writing."
Issues are published approximately four times a year and are available to download for free in ePub and Mobi formats.

Comics Fu
The Italian comic creation and shop site, Comics Fu, is currently in its pilot stage, but looks very promising for both comic readers and creators.
A platform which enables authors to distribute their digital comics directly to readers.
Creators set the price for their work, and get their own shop page. The site automaticaly generates multiple formats from uploaded files to suit every reader, and takes a fee from each transaction.
While it's currently in Italian, the founders have expressed their desire to support more languages. Keep an eye on the full launch of Comics Fu for some great deals.
Comics are available in both high and low quality PDF, ePub (in different versions) and CBZ/CBR formats.

Dynamite Digital
Dynamite's CEO and Publisher, Nick Barrucci explains that:
"Expanding into DRM-free content, made available directly to consumers from our website, is simply giving the consumers the option for what they want and how they want it, and continues to reach out to a non-traditional comic-reading audience."
Dynamite have a massive selection of comics. From Battlestar Galactica: Zarek to Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time, there's a range and depth to their collection. I'm going to dive into the Pathfinder titles and maybe some Bob's Burgers.

The Hellsblood Bride
by kevin: Readkevin's Recommendation
There's weird fiction, then there's Chuck Wendig weird fiction.
In this sequel to The Blue Blazes, our gangland enforcer with a heart of gold, Mookie Pearl, must save his daughter and the whole world from the schemes of demons, demi-gods and more weird stuff before it all ends.
Call it a Chuckpocalypse, or even Wendigeddon!
Loads of fun and a must read for any Chuck Wendig fan.
Jaran
by kevin: Readkevin's Recommendation
A beautiful, contemplative journey.
It's hard to slot Jaran into a genre. It's been called "anthropological science fiction", and that kind of fits. But it doesn't cover the ideas of wonder, nature, culture and love, found with a new people on a new world.
If you liked Rosemarie Kirstein's Steerswoman series, Jaran let's you explore and fall in love with another way of life all over again.
Muti Nation
by sakina: Readsakina's Recommendation
A nail-biting introduction to South African magic and a nice bit of terror into the bargain. No reading this one on a dark stormy night unless you're bigger and hairier than the sorcerer!

I'm using Libreture to manage my books now and it's a very cool service...

I recently signed up to this. It's a nice way of storing all your DRM Free eBooks in one place. You can also share your library with others! It also helps support DRM-Free authors, publishers and bookshops by allowing users to link to where they got it from.

I think its really awesome, and ive been kind of glad someone is trying to build stuff in the eReading space that isn't vertically integrated.
