Need a new ebook resource

jbcohen · 11-02-2010, 08:28 AM

I have a specific need for an ebook store, perhaps you can help:

1) Needs to make ebooks available for sale in non-DRM, so that I can actually use the ebook.
2) Needs to have a lot of the latest mystery and thriller books in ebook format.

My favorite ebook provider thus far is quite good at this, trouble is that they have not translated a lot of the latest paperbacks into ebook format and I am looking for a new estore to fill in the gap.

No such place exists. And if you are not in the USA (or UK), most of the books won't be available to start with.

The only place you will actually get that - apart from the sale part - is the darknet. So don't bother wasting time looking.

The only store that provides DRM free ebooks that I know of is baen's www.webscription.net, but they mostly have science fiction and fantasy so that's not probably what you're looking for. On the plus side, they don't have geographic restrictions and they do have lots of free ebooks.
If you do find something else, i wold appreciate the link.

Fictonwise "multiformat" books -- which represents much of their catalogue -- are DRM free. Books by most well-known publishers are always DRM locked.
