I want to read more books on my phone but I don't use any of the big predatory stores like Amazon or Kindle that lock you into their system, force you to use their apps and require an account.
Is there some kind of DRM-free indie writing site that just lets you (buy and) download raw PDF or EPUB files without the nonsense? Kind of what itch.io is for video games?
