DRM-Free Books
After several years of mandatory DRM lockdowns from most commercial book sources, now authors have a choice when it comes to DRM for their books. Pick authors and books that are DRM-free, or download DRM-free classics that are out of copyright. https://frequal.com/Perspectives/DrmFreeAuthors.html

In plain words
DRM-Free Books is a directory that helps readers find books without digital rights management restrictions. It allows users to discover contemporary works from authors who choose not to use DRM protection, as well as access out-of-copyright classics available without restrictions. The platform serves readers who prefer unrestricted access to their digital books and authors seeking distribution alternatives to traditional lockdown-protected models.
