Recently i bought a book from Kindle because i couldn't find it in any other platform and I'm so happy it only cost me 1$ because i haven't been able to download the ePub version, none of the methods on the internet have worked for me or they need to use a physical kindle device. God it's so frustrating i just want to read a 1$ book on my Kobo

Too little too late. I’ve already ditched Amazon for ebooks in favor of Kobo’s ecosystem. It’s not flawless but it’s not soul sucking either.

All ePub and PDF downloads are here: https://open-slum.org/

I hope they will allow me to download e-books that I uploaded through their upload site.

I do backups but better be safe than sorry.

How do I know if any of the books I already have are DRM free? And how to get the epub or PDF?

I believe every book I buy I’m allowed to backup in any format I want. Come and get me

Well, it's a step in the right direction. I will never pay for an ebook that I cannot permanently possess. And DRM is pointless. At some point the words become visible and therefore are copyable.

Thank you great exalted one! We don't deserve your endless generosity.

I could see them buying the rights to popular free or DRM-free books and bringing them into their store, along with all the consequences that would entail.

Not to mention the spying they'll do - Whatcha reading?

First think I do and have ever done after having had to buy a book from Amazon: Pull it into Calibre and remove DRM.

These days I don’t buy from them but the same with Kobo which is a better company to begin with.
