(Here in Norway we've so far been lucky, I've yet to see e-books with DRM. There's ebok.no which does watermarks, but that feels acceptable.)

Audiobookstore.com are fantastic. I've enjoyed so many of their audiobooks over the years.

Standard Ebooks is seriously impressive. One of my favorite sources of books in the public domain.

I’d also add in addition to this excellent list of DRM-free ebooks, it’s always worth looking into borrowing a book from the library via Libby/Overdrive.

thank you both, I'm getting tired of stealing the digital copy and buying a physical one

Free ebooks: https://libgen.is

Book summaries: https://littlerbooks.com

I second downpour.com for audiobooks. You can download files in mp3 or m4b formats and listen to them in whatever player you like.

I hadn't heard of libro.fm. I'll have to give them a try, thanks for pointing them out.

I have some of their military history books in printed books and was happy to discover recently that they are selling DRM-free EPUBs. They also cover many other historical topics (like the section on technology history) and sell some books from other publishers too.
