Hi all,

I hope i'm allowed to ask this, but i was wondering; do you buy your ebooks free from DRM? If so, where can you buy them, preferably globally?

EDIT: thank you all for your valuable comments, it's much appreciated! Have a great weekend :-)

I love physical books, but i prefer to buy them only when i know i will love them. So, books that i don't know at all, would accumulate quickly and take up unnecessary space if it turns out i don't even like it that much. Good point about the library, thanks!

I get it, also there's some convenience with readers when you're in a place you'll read... alot... but, yeah. I'd certainly go broke if my reading list was satisfied with buying them, instead of visiting the library.
