Do you buy DRM-free books? - eviltoast

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 :-)

    Most public libraries have a very extensive collection of ebooks that can be borrowed.

    Though I greatly prefer physical books. The sole exception is technical things that then let me search for what I need

      I love physical books, but i prefer to buy them only when i know i will love them. So, books that i don’t know at all, would accumulate quickly and take up unnecessary space if it turns out i don’t even like it that much. Good point about the library, thanks!

        I get it, also there’s some convenience with readers when you’re in a place you’ll read… alot… but, yeah. I’d certainly go broke if my reading list was satisfied with buying them, instead of visiting the library.

      I used to only read physical books and couldn’t even consider reading ebooks. Then I ran out of space in my book case and was forced to start reading ebooks. Now I have my whole book collection on my phone (and backed up on my hard drive and gdrive).
