Explicitly lefty publisher, but the ebooks are DRM free and they include them for free alongside any physical purchases. (They do tag the ebooks with your name and email though.)
If you are into light novels the publisher JNovel Club sells their books DRM free from their website
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.
Lots here too.
I use a kobo e-reader and it works a treat. Looks and feels good, and can load any ol downloaded epub book without issue with Calibre.
Is there any way to liberate existing ebooks now that Amazon has pulled the plug on downloading? An unfortunate friend of mine has “bought" Books from Amazon for thousands of euros and he just now finds out that he doesn’t seem to own them. I’d help him free his books if there is a possibility.
Enter “[book name] [desired file format such as PDF or epub]” into search engine of choice
And ideally your search engine of choice would be z-library or libgen
You certainly don’t want to use shodan to search
server: "calibre"And you definitely don’t want to find an open ebook library to get kindle-only books.
I’m so in love with Anna.

You people are delusional to not understand that intellectual property is the fundamental basis of our world economy, and also your job. Elliminate all IP you’ll get an iPhone that’s priced at $20. What is your recommendation for a communistic society where nobody will get rewarded for creativity and ingeneuity? How would that work exactly? I’m listening.
