Every store and publisher below sells ebooks you actually own — no DRM, no lock-in. Download the file, read it in Sutra, and keep it forever.
Rotating pay-what-you-want bundles of DRM-free EPUB/PDF/MOBI titles, often themed by genre or publisher, with a share of proceeds going to charity. Great for cheap, large batches of titles — inventory changes frequently, so it's more "grab it now" than a searchable catalog.
A dedicated DRM-free storefront with a filterable catalog spanning fiction, nonfiction, and technical titles. Good for one-off purchases when you know exactly what you want.
Time-limited, deeply discounted DRM-free ebook bundles, similar in spirit to Humble Bundle. Worth checking periodically for genre-specific deals.
Small indie storefront focused on SFF, comics, and literary magazines — everything DRM-free in EPUB and PDF. Catalog is curated rather than huge; a good source for small-press titles and indie SFF magazines you won't find on the bigger stores.
A DRM-free digital comics marketplace built by the team behind the Panels reading app. Buy, download, and own comics with no platform lock-in — creators keep 80% of the sale.
Pay-what-you-want DRM-free comics direct from top creators (Brian K. Vaughan and collaborators, among others). No account required — pick a price, download the PDF/CBZ.
A large catalog of indie and small-press comics sold DRM-free, alongside its sister sites DriveThruRPG and DriveThruFiction.
Home to Tor Books, Forge, Bramble, Nightfire, Tor Teen, and Tordotcom Publishing. Tor was the first major SFF publisher to go DRM-free, back in 2012, and its ebooks ship DRM-free at every retailer that carries them. This catalog site links each title out to retailers rather than selling direct.
Technical publisher covering programming, security, Linux, and hacking. All ebooks are DRM-free, and every print purchase includes a free DRM-free ebook edition.
Developer-focused technical books — DRM-free by policy, with free updates within an edition as errata get fixed.
One of the earliest DRM-free publishers (since the early 2000s), heavy on military SF, space opera, and fantasy. Sells in seven formats and runs a Free Library of complete novels at no cost.
Technical/developer books — Manning was the first publisher to sell unprotected PDF ebooks back in 2000 and has stayed DRM-free since. Buying the print book gets you the ebook free too.
