Basically what’s on the tin. Where do you buy your eBooks? Amazon is an obvious choice but we’re curious if there are other popular eBook retailers.

Yeah, I’m a Kindle user so Amazon is my go-to. But sometimes I get some from those charity bundles, storybundle, etc.

Amazon almost exclusively. Too easy. A few from kickstarters of course, but that is about it for me.

Always amazon. It’s just too easy and they often have really good special offers.

Kobo books as long as you don’t mind de-drm’ing and format shifting in Calibre. I have a kindle, but with the recent trend at amazon towards their new kfx format [which isn’t able to be converted], I’m leaning back towards kobo.
Also, Baenebooks for all your SFF needs. I like a LOT of their authors and so want to support the site directly when I can.
Then Gutenberg.org/net for all the classics. And various libraries for all the fluff I want to read but not buy.

I’ve been curious about Kobo for a while, and part of the reason for this question. I didn’t know Kindle has a new format.

I bought my Mack Bolan/Executioner books all 38 of them, from Kobo when they had sales.
And the kindle format isn’t a problem if you have an older kindle, a paperwhite gen1 and before, as those download the older azw3/mobi formats. And you can remove the drm and format shift those with very little issue. It is is the newer readers like the Oasis that download the newer format.
Kobo has its own format, the kepub, but you can also choose to download a regular epub, on which drm removal is completely trivial.
