Jack Brewster<p>Just discovered I somehow missed (at least) one book when I did my bulk download from Amazon. Now I'm even grumpier about that whole dang thing. And I'm definitely not buying any more books from them.</p><p>This is a good time to plug bookshop.org where you can buy many books <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/DRMfree" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DRMfree</span></a>, while supporting your <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/localbookshop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>localbookshop</span></a> with your purchases.</p><p>(And if you don't have a local shop to support, might I suggest Orca Books in <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/olympia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>olympia</span></a> <a href="https://bookshop.org/shop/orcabooks" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">bookshop.org/shop/orcabooks</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>.
