So I recently got an e-reader and have started collecting e-books for it, but a lot of books seem to only be available through Amazon/Kindle. I don’t want anything to do with that company. Where do I even start looking? I have my local library apps and have scoured Project Gutenberg and some similar sites. While this is great for classics and older stuff, I want newer books too, specifically science fiction and fantasy. Have looked at author’s websites but they typically link to Amazon or physical copies.

    Libby/Overdrive for ‘borrowing’ getting ebooks form your local Library. The Internet Archive is another good free source. When they aren’t being attacked by publishers and hackers anyway.

      Yep, I’ve found some books on Libby and BookBites which is what my local library offers, but not everything I’m looking for.

      The Internet Archive is great and deserves support!
