Bookshop.org, an online retailer that financially supports brick and mortar stores, began selling ebooks today, with all profits going to indie book stores.

    This sounded great until the part where you can only read the ebooks using their app and you can’t transfer to kobo/kindle. That is a dealbreaker for me unfortunately.

      Yup. They’re not selling eBooks, they’re leasing licenses to eBooks. Vastly different.

      🙁 Crap, didn’t see that part.

      EDIT: Also, another thing I hate about most sites that sell ebooks is that they’re rarely explicit about what their file formats are.
