What store sells ebooks legally and doesn't have similar ToS?
- f1refly 6y agoI usually go to the publishers or, if self published, authors website directly and buy from there. Books are distributed as epub that I can load on my ereader calibre alike.
- sbarre 6y agoYou keep saying this, but you leave out the fact that not that many publishers sell direct, and most popular books are not available in this manner. So yes this works _sometimes_, but not most of the time. For the majority of users who are looking for a very specific book, not just _any_ new book to read, buying it digitally means buying it from a DRM-laden marketplace.
- falcolas 6y agoAmazon is also a publisher. Many books I’ve read have been self-published by authors via Amazon’s system.
- wccrawford 6y agoAny of them that sell DRM-free ebooks would work. Of course, they have a much smaller selection than Amazon and you likely won't find the book you want. So it's not really a proper alternative. You either accept their TOS or you don't get to read the book you want digitally.
