So I recently got an e-reader and have started collecting e-books for it, but a lot of books seem to only be available through Amazon/Kindle. I don’t want anything to do with that company. Where do I even start looking? I have my local library apps and have scoured Project Gutenberg and some similar sites. While this is great for classics and older stuff, I want newer books too, specifically science fiction and fantasy. Have looked at author’s websites but they typically link to Amazon or physical copies.

    you can also use: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/webtoepub-for-baka-tsuki/ for many many sites. I like using it on royal road with a delay so that the site does not get DDOSed by me wanting to read a couple of authors (and then I usually buy the physical/ebooks later when they are more polished).

    I never conect my kindle/kobo/ebook readers to the internet. Calebre makes it soooo much easier.

      I never thought to load royal road chapters onto my eBook!
