I want to buy my first ebooks and I have two goals: don’t pay Amazon, and give the largest possible cut to the authors. Is there something like Bandcamp for ebooks?

How to make sure more of your book money goes to authors.
The biggest difference in book quality, IMHO, is a good editor. I honestly think I’d feel it would be fair if the editor and the author split the profit pretty evenly; maybe 60/40. I’m not an author, but I’ve read plenty of books which clearly did not have one (or had a terrible one), and they’re painful. Editors are the unsung heroes of the publishing industry.
That was an interesting read, thank you!
Looks like amazon ebooks are commonly the best=paying way.
You’re welcome :) And for people who want to support local independent bookstores, I’ll drop in a plug for bookshop.org .
Another great site.
