I used to buy books from fictionwise.com pretty often, though not
recently.  (I'm getting enough from Bookshare!)  Fictionwise has a large
range of books in accessible formats, including non-secure PDF.  I used to
buy books in Palm format, I think, then I had a program to convert them to
text so I could load them on my notetaker and read them in braille.  Don't
think that particular converter is available anymore, though.
HTH.
