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?

I use various sources, from Kobo to bookshop.org or even finding good books from authors who give their work away for free, but I always donate at least $10-$20 for their work, like I would if I bought a paperback. Regardless, I refuse to pay for anything with DRM on it.

Reasonable, thank you.
