I prefer physical books myself, but I’m always ok to read an ebook if that’s how I can get a story. Do you have a preferred place to get them? There are a few that I would love to own, but a used copy is significantly too expensive.
I’m looking at you A Stitch in Time by Andrew J. Robinson at over 100 bucks
Yeah, A Stitch in Time was what started the search. Just over $100 seems like a bargain when I was seeing the used paperbacks listed over $200 on Amazon lol. So I went with the ebook copy.

I think I paid $10.99 for it last year, and it's $8.99 now. If you are interested in more, create an account and add them to your wish list. They will randomly go on sale with no notice. I got several that were normally like $12.99 for $1.99 just by catching them on sale when I checked back on my lists.
I've been getting all of mine from there. If the title is available without DRM, it's noted in the listing, and you can straight-up just download a clean epub file once you've bought it. That's everything I've always wanted from an ebook store.
Last copy I saw went on eBay for $85, I’ve never noticed it lower than $150 before that. My library has it in ebook and audiobook, but I would like a copy of my own. I downloaded one and I still want to support the author so I have no issue with buying it on sale. I will probably buy it and print it out at my library at some point because I do just prefer to read a physical copy of something.
Thanks for the tips and link!
Same. Not with A Stitch in Time but two of the PIC tie-in novels weren't available without DRM. So I bought them full price and "Rules of Acquisition'd" DRM-free versions from elsewhere. My conscience is clean.
