Where do you buy (or get) e-books from besides Amazon? (lemmy.world)

So I recently got an e-reader and have started collecting e-books for it, but a lot of books seem to only be available through Amazon/Kindle. I don't want anything to do with that company. Where do I even start looking? I have my local library apps and have scoured Project Gutenberg and some similar sites. While this is great for classics and older stuff, I want newer books too, specifically science fiction and fantasy. Have looked at author's websites but they typically link to Amazon or physical copies.

As an FYI, Some of the bundles lately have been fulfilled through Kobo, they’re still epubs and kobo’s drm is pretty easy to strip though.
