Hi all,
I hope i’m allowed to ask this, but i was wondering; do you buy your ebooks free from DRM? If so, where can you buy them, preferably globally?
EDIT: thank you all for your valuable comments, it’s much appreciated! Have a great weekend :-)
I don’t know where to buy them DRM free, but I can usually buy a DRM book from Amazon kindle, for example, then just download the DRM free book from a website like oceanofpdf.org
Anywhere that’s not Amazon, assuming the publishers are not being assholes. Usually between the American and the British edition you can almost always find a DRM free epub version.
I’ve never seen that a publisher who’s locking it’s books would sell them different on different platforms. I just checked Andy Weir from his own website, it is all amazon / apple / google etc locked versions - or pulp-tree-and-ink.
But I’d be very happy to be wrong; have you got sites to recommend?
So, this is a website where you proof you bought the book legitimately and then, they remove the DRM software for you? Or do i misunderstand it? How much would they charge for this?
I have in the past, but I just do not have time to read right now. So I mostly listen to audio books that I get from Audible while I work.
If I do read, its work related and not for pleasure. Which sadly I’m behind on.
I exclusively buy DRM-free books/games/videos. I don’t pay for DRM.
Exactly, that’s why i’m asking. Where do you buy them, and can you also buy modern titles?
Yes. I buy on ebooks dot com, where you can filter by the DRM-free critter. It is also a neat trick to discover new authors.
I do this absolutely out of personal opinion on the matter, and would rather buy dead-tree-and-ink than a closed version (that won’t open on my e-reader anyway).
The whole - and excellent - Murderbot Diaries series is DRM-free ! I wonder what/who make the decision on that matter.
Get them on Anna’s Archive and then mail the author a check.
