Thanks a lot.

@JSWolf: I do not have a smartphone and do not intend to buy one. And I do have an aversion against Kindle. My world is the OpenSource World.
If you could guide me to a concrete exemple, I might better understand what exactly you mean.

@ Meeera: «directly from the source» means for me, an Editor who produces E-Books but sells them through his own channels and not through the large ripp-off chains. DRM is OK, I don't mind it for a start. I have a Kobo Glo HD but can not find a way how to join my library, which is one of my problems. I also do not understand what «sideloading» means.

I'd like to amend many E-Books who sometimes have been catastrophically set up. I can do this with Sigil without problems. And don't believe, those errors are only in hobby e-book producers, they are quite common in expensive ones from famous editors as well. One of the worst «crime» is sillabification, another are substantial typos, who, in printed books, are just not made.
