Bookshop.org launches Kindle alternative, sends e-book sales to local bookstores
Bookshop.org launched a new platform that allows independent bookstores to sell e-books to readers. Here's a look inside.

I have mix feelings about this, as while there are some DRM-free books, most are locked to the application.
Meaning: you can't give your book to someone after you're done and if the app stops working in the future, your book won't be available.
I'll rather have them call it renting than buying.
I'm not dissing it, I'll rather do this than using Amazon.
There are alternatives without DRM or at least with DRM that's easy to strip.
Please do tell 😊
Basically anything that sells ePub, so Kobo.com, ebooks.com (this one has a drm free category), etc. DRM is decided by the publisher not the store so not everything will be available without protection.
If the book you want has DRM there's a Calibre plugin that is usually able to remove it.
great, thank you!
