You can buy the ebooks from Kobo or the like and strip out the DRM using Calibre.

Shitte practices by Amazon are no justification to let it all out on the authors. Amazon literally doesn't care whatsoever if you don't buy a book there. However, the author might need to feed their family dry bread today.
