Hi all,

I hope i’m allowed to ask this, but i was wondering; do you buy your ebooks free from DRM? If so, where can you buy them, preferably globally?

EDIT: thank you all for your valuable comments, it’s much appreciated! Have a great weekend :-)

    I use Libby to borrow ebooks, they let you download epub version with DRM. Then I just strip the DRM with calibre and immediately return so i don’t take up the library copy anymore. Then I use the DRM-free epub I get from calibre to read whenever I have time, no 3-week time limit.

      I need to learn how to do this. Not the borrowing books part, I’ve got that down. It’s the other part I don’t know how to do.

        I don’t know if it’s a grey area legally. I dont buy the books, but i still have a permanent copy available whenever I need to.
