There really isn't an easy way to divest from US megacorps if you aren't yourself in the US. I'm trying to buy an ebook without using Amazon: none of the famous options sell where I live. That's the rule rather than the exception with any product. - ThreadSky

I want to buy Interstellar Megachef, I heard it's good

I saw an author on here recently suggesting messaging/emailing them through their website. Might very well still run into payment processor issues but maybe there’s a way to minimize interaction (do like, a PayPal (which still sucks but at least avoids Amazon)) and have them send you a file?

I’m sure that’ll come down to the author and how responsive they are personally. It also adds time and a back and forth. But maybe?

https://Bookshop.org if you have a US based payment method. https://Ebooks.com sells internationally as well.

Thanks. I'm not linked to the US in any way, so no US payments. The second link doesn't have the book I'm looking for. I'll bookmark it for another time
