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 want to say that Tor Books releases DRM-free ebooks by default, and most of the authors I like these days are published via Tor. (And Tor being a SFF imprint is relevant to this sub.)

So I kind of get DRM-free eBooks by default.

Yep. I just bought Sleep in a Sea of Stars from Kobo, and because it was Tor published I could download a DRM free copy to convert and slap on my kindle.
