Buy elsewhere, or simple look up epubs and mail them to kindle

Where do others buy epubs? (Besides the library) In many cases my obscure authors only use Amazon.

I've used Kobo and Ebooks.com, and import into my Calibre library. I know some authors have a way to purchase directly on their site.

I also use Kobo. It's really easy to download on Kobo (then remove DRM if that's your vibe).

Because in the kindle store you're not purchasing the book but a license to the book.
