You may hate Amazon with a white hot passion, but they provide the best user experience.
If you can strip the DRM, you can buy from B&N as the eBook under the DRM crud is ePub.

You aren't paying a DRM tax. Tor has gone DRM free and their prices did not go down at all. So there is no such thing as a DRM tax.
