e-books and bookstores

I want to support my local non-chain bookstore, and I want to limit the number of physical books I buy. My bookstore offers e-books through Google Books, and I bought one. The iPod interface for Google Books leaves something to be desired though. The biggest PITA is that there's no bookmark feature.
