Handango managed to negotiate freebies with small software publishers, which is an entirely different thing than large book publishers. The latter often won't release ebooks without
some DRM.
Of all companies to trust your credit card with, I think I put eReader high up on the list. They've been around forever (previously known as Peanut Press and Palm Digital Media), and have had a very good reputation for those years. Now if only they released a fully VGA-aware version of their reader so it doesn't need any third-party hack...
