Ask HN: Where to buy (DRM-free) ePub books?

11 pointsby motiejusover 2 years ago
So I just purchased my non-kindle e-reader. I would like to buy books for it. Like the shelf books, but to my e-reader.<p>Do such websites to legally acquire e-pub books even exist? I wasn&#x27;t able to find one. Happy to pay for those as much as for physical copies.<p>I am interested in history and politics; my first target is 0199797455, assuming I can find where to buy it.

This maybe <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vitalsource.com&#x2F;products&#x2F;waging-war-wayne-e-lee-v9780190267216" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vitalsource.com&#x2F;products&#x2F;waging-war-wayne-e-lee-...</a> ?<p>There are endless websites that sell ebooks (ePub is only one format, you can easily switch between formats if you need), just google the name+ebook or epub

Baen Books (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.baen.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.baen.com&#x2F;</a>) is a publisher that only releases DRM free ebooks. They primarily publish scifi &#x2F; fantasy books that you can buy from their site directly.

Have you checked the websites of the local bookstores in your country?<p>Many offer such things. Your local library may surprise you as well.

I use Amazon, then strip the DRM using Calibre + a plugin.
