Amazon allows EPUB downloads for publishers that have chosen to go DRM-free.

They used to allow downloads of all books, which you could then rip the DRM from, but they got rid of that last year. Huge disappointment, and is why I don't buy books on Kindle anymore.

First I'm hearing of that, is there an easy way to tell that's available?

It usually says somewhere in the description I think. E.g. this one (good series, btw): https://www.amazon.com/Shattering-Peace-Old-Mans-Book-ebook/...

> At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Not sure how universal that is, but I've seen similar language on several other books.

Oh wow, that's hidden. Thanks.

Wait, OMW book 7? Wtf? Thank you even more! That'll be up next after my Hyperion re-read (RIP Dan)

It's an enjoyable read, hopefully it's the start of a whole new arc in the series with more to come. My only real complaint is it's short and I want more. If you never read his other Interdependency series, it's also great.

		I think I read all of his series, yeah. Interdependency was great.
