    Where do you get books for the Kindle if not at Amazon?

    I have an ancient Kindle Paperwhite that I love. Lately it has become very sluggish but still works and I have only bought books for it at Amazon. I’d love to correct that discrepancy.

      • BAEN sells eBooks directly.
      • Libby has various options to check out eBooks from local libraries.
      • Project Gutenberg has free and DRM free eBooks for most books in the public domain. A huge number of classics are available this way.

      When I look for a specific book, I usually find that simply searching for "BOOK NAME purchase DRM free” results in plenty of results.

      Sadly, I find it dramatically easier to find a free DRM free copy of most eBooks than to find somewhere to legally purchase a paid licensed DRM-free copy.

      As a flawless upstanding citizen, I never partake of such amazing convenience, myself, of course.
