@patrickstewart @bookstodon I was on the fence on this one, and I voted ebook store, mainly because I have no idea how to add directly purchased ebooks onto my kindle. Include instructions on how to do that, and I would gladly purchase directly.

@fratm @patrickstewart It is certainly doable, as z-library delivers e-books via email to kindle. I have no experience with it, as I ditched the wretched device as soon as I saw the lock-in clutches closing on me, but those dreadful pirates apparently know their trade.

If a book is not encrypted with #DRM, simply plug the Kindle into your PC with a USB cable and copy it over, or drag & drop. Just like putting a file on a thumb drive.

If it is encrypted, reading it elsewhere than on your Kindle varies from easy to impossible depending on several things, all explained here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=283371

Personally, I like to buy from Amazon, but read on my Kobo. And not be locked in. Author site would be a plus.
