By preference (at least for me):

  1. Buy outright (AKA online stores like https://www.baen.com/). No DRM ebooks are great.
  2. Buy from authors website or sometimes patreon.
  3. Calibre + digital library download. My local library has an app, and you can just get the book and then sideload.
  4. Yoho if I cant find it elsewhere.

I try really hard to give authors money in some way....but sometimes Yoho is all you got if they have an amazon exclusive contract.

Its been 14+ years with this combo and I cant say I have ever had issues getting books.
