In Response to Amazon preventing to download books you bought: Some DRM free bookstores and publishers
-
Who is downvoting this?!
-
I do that. Every game I buy on Steam corresponds to a DRMless copy.
-
Several Steam games are DRM-free and don't even need Steam to be installed to play them: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_big_list_of_DRM-free_games_on_Steam
For those games, you can just make a copy of the game directory.

And ideally your search engine of choice would be z-library or libgen

There seems to be a few publishers missing here ..
- Baen books (https://www.baen.com/) have never applied DRM to their books.
- TOR (https://torpublishinggroup.com/) stopped DRM on their books about ten years ago.
Baen typically sells their wares directly but TOR are through the usual sellers but have no DRM. I'm not sure how this works in practise with Amazon's new "you can't get the files" policy, but they are probably in cleartext somewhere.

If you are into light novels the publisher JNovel Club sells their books DRM free from their website

A surprising number of big names on there.

My wife likes her kindle hardware.
I love stumbling upon EPUBs and using Amazon’s website to send them to her kindle.

humble bundle at one point sold a bundle with the works of U K Le Guin, and since i've been meaning to read those, i bought it
all were under amazon DRM
i'm a big fan of being able to do whatever the hell i want with the things i buy so naturally, i got mad and looked for a way to un-DRM them, and i'm happy to say there's a calibre plugin for that. i'm currently enjoying Wizard of Earthsea on my reMarkable
