Check out your local library's webpage, most are converting to electronic format and in some cases they put up some books in a digital format that can be read or viewed online. Popular books as well that are in the public domain.
Good one! There is also a pretty large site that specializes in real estate books, you guys may want to check it out.

Pete, I will suggest you also checkout UnderratedSites.com. __________________________________________________ UnderRatedSites.com is a directory listing of great sites that are not getting the attention, coverage and publicity they deserve.
So if you you have a great site but not getting the traffic and publicity, I will suggest you submit your site for coverage.
It's more about language than books, but another site that appeals to bibliophiles is http://wordie.org. (full disclosure: I built it :-)

You might also want to add http://www.FictionDB.com and http://www.bookbrowse.com to your list. FictionDB has tons of lists of author's books, new releases, series, stuff like that. BookBrowse is great for reading groups.

I personally use Book Cost, it's been around a lot longer and looks up love prices instead of feed prices, so it often finds more accurate prices.
Six of one, half a dozen of the other, there are a million sites, but like for the old Code Complete Book Cost had the best price correct:
Wow. You utterly missed AllConsuming, the 43signals site for consumption (including books). As an avid reader I'd say it's the best community out there for readers, period. And it's even well-known.

Book Search & exchange has Bookins.com which charges $3.99 for each trade but FrugalReader.com has no fee to join or to trade. It's a very friendly book trading community and should be included on future viersions of this list. It's smaller than PaperBackSwap.com but more user-friendly.

FrugalReader's search engine is slower than molasses in deep winter. When I do a search I don't think I should have to play solitare to pass the time while the search engine is seeking an answer. Paperbackswap.com has been efficient. I will however check out the other swap sites listed here to see the possibilities.

http://www.bookwormr.com is a new website and is a great place to list the books you've read and see what other people are reading. You can read and write reviews, make friends and give books a rating.
There's even a facebook plugin which puts the books your currently reading on your facebook profile.
It's a cool, new website where book lovers can get a better read on what to read next, by sharing and comparing brief comments (i.e. the juice) on books.
Designed to be very user intuitive and inviting. Click on a book's cover art and up come the comments. Whether reviewing comments, or writing a comment, it all stars on the home page.
If you love books, it's worth a look.

Good article. Nice work! I would just complete the list with a community for book lovers. It`s a site name Bookalytics. The link is www.bookalytics.com. It`s a nice and interesting community which hopes to unite every book lover around the world.
The service also gave me a complimentary subscription which my mom likes - http://www.bestsum.com - which has self-help, motivational, Dr. Phil-ish book summary collection.

Also you missed out on http://books.google.com or http://scholar.google.com which houses a lot of books in free digital format.
Thanks for your kind comment. http://books.google.com is right there in the list.

The service is a big help for executive and entrepreneurs on the go who have no time to read a business book every week.
Thanks!
