I just don't want to deal with stress. Trying to simplify my life.
Thx for the suggestions.

No, I haven't stripped out the DRM of anything. Baen books, for example are DRM free.
All Books
I'm part of Storybundle and get books from there constantly. Often indie books. All DRM free.
I've gone to the great Imperial library of Trantor on the dark web and grabbed a bunch of ebooks that you can't find anywhere for any price. Been a while on that one though, not sure if it's still up. Those were usually epubs if I recall, had to Calibre those over to mobis.
My wife and I also own a LOT of books as we both worked for Publishers during our careers she being an Executive Editor for Bantam DoubleDay Dell and I worked for John Wiley and Sons for 5 years. I don't have any guilt getting the ebook for free of titles we own as physical books. Mostly older stuff there though.
