Dear Kumarswamy,
1) You can directly procure e-books from the publishers, if books have been published by the respective publishers. Otherwise you can go through vendors.
2) There are several e-books formats are available ex: Amazon's-AZW, Sony's-BbeB, Microsoft's-LIT, MOBI, PDF etc.
3) Amazon's-Kindle, Infibeam's-Pi are commercial e-book readers apart from these some of the open source and free books readers are also available e: Calibre is a open source and Icecream e-book reader is a free e-book reader.
4) There are certain purchase models are available for e-book procurement ex: User Concurrence, Circulation, Limited, Perpetual, Pay-Per-Use, Subscription etc., Depends upon books and size of users you may go for procurement.
Thanks
