Bloomsbury is one of the few "big publishers" that let you legally buy English-language DRM-free e-books, I whole-heartedly recommend buying from them instead of contributing to lord bezo's dystopian future.

There's another list at https://libreture.com/bookshops/ but it's a bit of a bother to look into all of them; if there's an English-language fiction book I want I tend to just check Bloomsbury (or a quick web search) and if it's not there I give up on finding a legal e-book. There's a niche here for a search engine for bookshops offering DRM-free e-books (ping marginalia_nu ). It's not that hard to set up a shop offering a DRM-free e-book, but it is hard marketing it and making it easy for people to find that book.

The tech enthusiast. What would be the opposite? Tech critic? Tech sucks. Honestly. We would be better off without any internet and the industry abusing it.
