Jewish eBooks is launched with a wide range of ebooks that in one way or another relate to Jewishness.
As you will know, the whole ebook phenomena is spreading all over the world, and quite rapidly languages and cultures other than the Anglo-Saxon are climbing onboard as well, so the advent of an ebook store that is specialized in ebooks that are aimed at the Jewish community is a reasonable development.
This site (http://www.jewish-e-books.com/) has a very wide range of ebooks on offer, both in English and in Hebrew all at very reasonable prices too I notice.
To give you an idea of the range of genres, here is a small list that will show you what you can expect if you visit this site in search of ebooks:
And this is just the English language list!
And now, here is an oversight of what they are offering you in Hebrew:
Formats:
These ebooks seem to come in a variety of formats, I have found some in ePub, others in PDF and as they all appear to be DRM protected (via Adobe Digital Editions) you need to make sure that your ereader will work with any ebook you happen to buy from this online store.
Big plans to expand:
Currently they only sell ebooks, but I gather they are planning to broaden their offerings to include ereaders and ereader accessories, so it will become a one stop shop for anyone who is interested in Jewish writings and wants to buy an ereader as well.
Pricing?
These seem very reasonable to me, ranging from about $5 and upwards, but generally in the range $5 to $10, so perfectly competitive prices and in line with the cheaper ebook sites out there.
So, if Jewish writing or ebooks that relate to Jewish culture and life is what you are looking for, then this is a great resource for you to browse in.

To go along with this bookshop, interested readers might want to take a look at the Jewish Review of Books (http://www.jewishreviewofbooks.com/). It is intended to be like the New York Review of Books (http://www.nybooks.com/), just focused on Jewish books.
