$25 to rent the movie, one watch within max 24 hours after you start watching it... Or $5 more to own it. Scammers.

Honestly, I havent bought a digital book since. You can read between the lines there.

I don't actually believe there will be a place to purchase DRM free books. Most of the ones I am seeing from a cursory search are for copyright free books.

You can buy DRM free books @ your local book store.

I mean, yes. But also no because we were talking about digital copies.

kobo.com sells books without DRM (under eBook details they tell you the exact format). For example, the murderbot chronicles are sold without. Sadly they don't have everything like amazon does, especially for niche authors that only publish digitally.

Oh nice, I'll keep that in mind for the future! Thank you!
