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 still get physical print books. I like the smell and the feel more than just reading on a screen, even if it’s that e-paper stuff. E-paper still doesn’t appeal to my other senses. Most of the e-books I have are audiobooks, none of which have DRM, I use while also reading the physical book just cuz I have found it helps absorb it faster.

    I do specifically get DRM files because in the past, DRM has gotten in the way of transferring the files to another device from what I initially got them on. I’d rather just have a friggin .mp3 or .ogg and will pirate it if it’s unavailable DRM free.

      I agree and i love paper books, but i prefer to buy them when i know they are worth my precious storage space. Nothing better than opening a new book and smell it. It’s the first thing i do :-)

      Edit to add that i will never buy books with DRM though
