Best place to buy ebooks other than Amazon? (sh.itjust.works)

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?

I buy so many used books at local stores. I think I need to switch to ebooks just to limit the number of tons I'll eventually need to move!

    I know friends love their ereaders. I'd need an open one, I refuse to get into the Amazon ecosystem. But I also LOVE physical copies. I think they'd probably be great for books I'm sure about and then buy a physical book later. But lots of ebooks are ridiculously priced compared to physical.
