Bought my first e-books since I stopped buying from Amazon early January. Bought directly from an author through their own publishing company. No DRM.
Earlier I didn’t succeed yet in buying an e-book from ebooks.com, somehow the credit card transaction wasn’t accepted by Visa. Earlier this evening I did succeed in buying there on second try, using Paypal. The books had Adobe DRM.
All purchases downloaded to Calibre which is now my local central library for e-books again after years of neglect. Epubor is a great tool to help make the material you purchase accessible from all your devices.
@ton Ik koop daar ook veel van mijn e-books, een prima alternatief als je geen interesse hebt in het gemak van integratie in een ecosysteem, maar een groot deel van de boeken is nog steeds niet DRM-vrij, helaas.
This year I decided to no longer spend any money with Amazon. Over the years I’ve spent quite a bit at Amazon on mostly e-books,…
What’s the benefit of using Epubor? I only have very modest needs, but so far they have always been handled well by Calibre’s conversion function.
Are there things it doesn’t handle well, or at all?
