Ebook Sites With DRM Free Ebooks?
I seem to have issues with DRM ebooks on my Ubuntu and getting them on to my Kobo so could anyone please list some DRM free sites?

Also I was wondering is the EPUB book section on here have DRM free books?

All of MR's e-books in our library are DRM-free.

For general stock (non public domain), Fictionwise's MultiFormat books are all DRM-free, Smashwords (mostly self-published, but some previously printed backlist books).

For SF/Fantasy, Baen's Webscription, BookViewCafé, several other smaller niche boutiques and sometimes direct from the author.

For romance, AllRomance eBooks (mostly, avoid "Secure" format), Carina Press, Jasmine Jade Enterprises (site of publisher Ellora's Cave).

Many indie-published (and backlist-republished) books at Amazon and Nook--that is, those coming directly from the authors--are DRM-free. But it takes some careful shopping to determine which are and which aren't.

The people who created Calibre have begun compiling lists of DRM-free books, mostly put forward by the authors:

Calibre now has a section called 'Open Books' which lists publishers who firmly stand against DRM (we're proud to be featured). It's worth checking out and their list is growing.

Good luck and best wishes. Neil
