I just got my first ereader, and am wondering if anyone has suggestions as to where I can purchase books but also download them (.epub, etc) after purchasing. I want to support the authors, but I also want to actually own the thing I’m paying for. Is ebooks.com a good option?
I do the same, I just wish my library had digital copies of all the books on my bookshelf! I have had luck using the same method to strip the DRM from an epub I bought from Kobo’s shop, but I don’t know if it would work with bookshop.org. I’d like to be able to support local bookstores, but their current model just doesn’t work for me.
Update: bought a DRMed book on bookshop.org to try it out and see. For now at least, it is only possible to read it on their website, or in the bookshop app on a smartphone. I hope they get kobo integration figured out soon, because the app is not really a pleasant reading experience.
