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?

        It’s a piracy website, but if I’ve already payed for the book legitimately, I don’t feel bad about using it.
