I stopped using Amazon a while back, but it was where I got all my books for a long time. I do thriftbooks mostly now, and try to buy directly from publishers when it’s a newer book, but I’m always interested in finding new spots to cop some sweet books.

I mostly just pirate from library genesis and sideload onto my Kindle. Had I known how easy it was to get books as a poor, I'd have opted for a Kobo instead since it's easier to move the .epubs over. You need to use Amazon's janky uploader thing to sideload and it's kind of butts.

I use Calibre to load pirated books onto my Kindle, but I’ve been debating a Kobo for a while now.

Honestly, I couldn't figure out how to do it with Calibre. I still use that for keeping my stuff organized tho. Calibre is legit, especially if you get into data hording territory.
