I do buy Kindle ebooks from Amazon, not many, but some. Conversion of them is no problem with my Kindle serial number in the Calibre plug in.

Nor will I waste disk space and reliability on dual booting Win10 & Linux. Win7 was the last MS sensible to dual boot. I do have OpenBox for virtual machines, but have no need for Win10.

I just gave away an x86 Win 10 tablet/laptop, it was only used for PDFs and my new Android 10" tablet does that better.

I do have some desktop machines and laptops left in the attic with Windows and my son has a Win10 desktop as a game console. He uses a Linux laptop for actual content.
There's nothing wrong with Windows 10. In fact, it works much better then Linux for eBooks. I see nothing wrong with dual-booting. By doing so, you can use Windows and Linux. Windows for everything eBook and Linux for when you want to pull your hair out.

As for DRM free ePub, you can also get them from Baen, Tor, and Star Trek ePub from Simon & Shuster.
