I would love to have https://joinbookwyrm.com/ capability. That would be fun. You finish a book, and bookwyrm would auto tell you were finished. Give users the option to post about it.

By preference (at least for me):

1. Buy outright (AKA online stores like https://www.baen.com/). No DRM ebooks are great.
2. Buy from authors website or sometimes patreon.
3. Calibre + digital library download. My local library has an app, and you can just get the book and then sideload.
4. Yoho if I cant find it elsewhere.

I try really hard to give authors money in some way…but sometimes Yoho is all you got if they have an amazon exclusive contract.

Its been 14+ years with this combo and I cant say I have ever had issues getting books.

Make it! Fork Piefed/lemmy and get it setup. Why not, might be fun.

It was sooo bad. We had such a bad time with it. The controller buttons stick, the software was super buggy, and they required a credit card to log in (I dont know if that changed after the first couple of months, but I remember being pissed).
