    Where do people who use kobo readers buy their ebooks? Is there a reliable non Amazon e-reader shop that sells from free books? (Besides humble store)

      Kobo has it’s own ebook store, plus it connects with Overdrive (outdated version of Libby) to handle library checkouts.

      Kobo is also really easy to sideload books on to, so you can, you know, just get them from wherever…

        My friend Anna was telling me about some Archive or something she found online. I wasn’t really paying attention as they were serving dinner.

          I’ve started using it due to some recommendation from other people on here (as opposed to z-lib, libgen) and noticed there are quite a few low-quality books that sneak in. We’re talking broken TOC, bad OCR, unclosed spans, etc… It’s obviously great as an archive, it has more than any other site, combined. But I can’t see myself using it for most books anymore. Could be a user issue though.
