There are a lot of other sources for ebooks. I've never bought one from amazon. This article is FUD.

So where do you buy general interest non-DRM ePubs these days? I used to buy from Barnes & Noble when it was easy to remove the DRM. They've made it much more difficult, so I don't buy from them anymore.

P.G. Wodehouse is a good example of an author I like to buy as ePub.

Kobo has some, but doesn't make them easy to find. It's a note on the bottom of each store page instead of something you can search by. I have no idea why; if I could find the good books with no DRM I'd have spent way more money there.

Recently discovered that Brandon Sanderson's books are among the DRM free (Mistborn, Stormlight Archive, others), which is a great set of reads for fantasy fans.

I honestly just use my Kobo for tech books like Manning and classics from Project Gutenberg. Otherwise dead tree.
