So I recently got an e-reader and have started collecting e-books for it, but a lot of books seem to only be available through Amazon/Kindle. I don’t want anything to do with that company. Where do I even start looking? I have my local library apps and have scoured Project Gutenberg and some similar sites. While this is great for classics and older stuff, I want newer books too, specifically science fiction and fantasy. Have looked at author’s websites but they typically link to Amazon or physical copies.

    When you get tired of trying to pay for it and realise if they don’t want to make it easy for you to purchase then you should pirate it then check out myanonamouse :)

      Thanks! I’m interested for sure. I can use this and then donate directly to the authors if that’s possible :)

        No worries. Whilst it is a private tracker they have open registration most of the time and you just need to log in at a specific time to speak to someone and have a small interview thing to join. Really nice, friendly community. Hope you can find what you are after!
