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 :-)

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?

I'm not in the US or UK, and here i find that a lot of books come with DRM
