Well some things may be cheaper on amazon, some on barnes and noble, some on other sites, and then some are free either legitimately or....shhhh >:D

I only know of iBooks.

Apparently, it is ePub rather than Mobi. Which is a more "open" format. May end up looking nice on paper, not sure.
Apparently, iBooks come with DRM which can be stripped just like the Amazon ones. I don't know if Amazon has bothered to make their DRM harder to crack.
It may or may not be a better alternative to buying it on Amazon.
Or. I don't know if anyone has uploaded it... somewhere... I think I'd rather just pay Adam Karpowicz directly than Apple or Amazon. How much % royalties does he even get from those stores?...

stuckinthemud:
yes, I'd far rather go to Adam K than anyone else, but the links on what I think is his page just go to Apple and Amazon. I did not know you could convert formats (never heard of Calibre or Mobi), and that is good information to have, so thanks guys. Also wasn't aware the book was available in ibook, thought it was Kindle only.  All really useful info.  Thanks everyone :D

I'm with Loon, once you use a tool to strip the DRM then you can do anything with it, I use Calibre on windows to convert formats. I have a kindle paperwhite that I love but I very very rarely get my e-books through amazon, I buy personal statement elsewhere and then use Calibre to autoconvert as it loads them onto my kindle

Hi,

+1 to Calibre. This tool is just perfect for e-book management. By the way, here's a short guide how to make the Calibre library work on all the devices as a content sharing tool:


--- Quote ---In Calibre’s menu bar, go to Connect/share > Start content server. Your computer might prompt you to allow the app through its firewall. Next, click on the Connect/share tab for a second time. You’ll see your computer’s local IP address followed by the port number. Make a note of them. Now head to your Kindle’s browser (or any other browser) and type [IP address]:[port number] in the address bar. You should see all your Calibre books appear on your screen. Click on a book’s title to open it or click on the + icon in the upper right-hand corner to add more content to your library.
