I bought my first ebook from amazon

Just don't do that. If you give money to this company, they'll continue to go down the path they're on. Enshitification.

That's doable until you need a book that's an Amazon exclusive.

I have "purchased" thousands of books from Amazon, but never given them money for a book.

They run free specials all the time. FreeReadFeed scans for them. It's a great way to discover authors to purchase their books at another site or use the library apps.
