I just got my first ereader, and am wondering if anyone has suggestions as to where I can purchase books but also download them (.epub, etc) after purchasing. I want to support the authors, but I also want to actually own the thing I'm paying for. Is ebooks.com a good option?

I do the same, I just wish my library had digital copies of all the books on my bookshelf! I have had luck using the same method to strip the DRM from an epub I bought from Kobo's shop, but I don't know if it would work with bookshop.org. I'd like to be able to support local bookstores, but their current model just doesn't work for me.
