Bookshop.org is fantastic for sourcing physical books, but I would unfortunately heavily recommend against getting ebooks through it. The software of the company they partner with, "MyMustReads" is absolutely awful in my experience, and I've also not found a way yet to get the actual epub/mobi/etc files out of it and use them on my dedicated e-reader devices.

Can't be worse than what the libraries use over here CloudLibrary and RBDigital

  You're not wrong. I tried out our local library's app, holy crap it's terrible.

  That’s unfortunate. The libraries I’ve lived near all have used OverDrive and Libby, both of which are great experiences (and it’s also relatively easy to get at the raw epubs).

> get the actual epub/mobi/etc files Could this be DRM in disguise?
