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.

While you're mainly looking for sources of new books, since you're a fan of Fantasy and Sci-fi, I'd like to mention Luminist.org, which has the most complete archive of classic fantasy & sf fiction magazines and pulps available for free!

Its so complete that it is entirely overwhelming where to start. Personally I would suggest Galaxy, Fantasy & Science Fiction, IF, Destinies, Analog, and Asimov's

Thanks! It's about time I read Asimov for sure.
