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?

Do they have a patreon or similar? Maybe your best bet is to pirate it and give them the money that way.

I'm a writer and have an ebook. Also accept support on Patreon. I wouldn't mind having more places to publish my ebooks other then Amazon. I do publish on Barnes and Noble, as well has Google books. I willing to offer DMI free.
