▲ 58 ▼ Best place to buy ebooks other than Amazon? (sh.itjust.works) submitted 1 year ago by clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works to c/books@lemmy.world 38 comments fedilink hide all child comments I want to buy my first ebooks and I have two goals: don't pay Amazon, and give the largest possible cut to the authors. Is there something like Bandcamp for ebooks?
