I want to buy my first ebooks and I have two goals: don't pay Amazon, and give the largest possible cut to the authors. Is there something like Bandcamp for ebooks?

They have a Discord but it seems to be locked behind a Patreon, which I now see includes an ebook at some tiers. That's gotta be the best way to go!

If the author lists a Patreon thing, then that is likely the best way to pay them. I emailed one of my favorite authors directly to ask a similar question, and he replied with detailed information, including signing the copy he sent me along with a signed bookmark.
