There's not a lot of great options for buying eBooks outside of amazon imo. There are some options out there but so many people self-publish exclusively on amazon you very well could be better buying off physical copies (which are somehow often cheaper) and legally backing up your books by finding downloads.

Here is a link for some that you can but online though.

Thanks!

When it comes to ebooks, I generally go for Kobo, which seems to be Amazon's stiffest competition, but I definitely prefer to support DRM-free where I can.
