I want to buy open source drm free e-books however I see Kobo that is a Canadian subsidiary owned by a Japanese Company while Apple is American with some operations based in Canada, California is closer to British Columbia however they often use closed standards.
I’m confused, are you talking about buying the e-reader, or the books?
For books, you can try looking for much more local options: in Quebec you have a leslibraires.ca for example, which is a consortium of small libraries. Their books do have some form of DRM though, I believe.
Kobo supports OverDrive, which is a system that some (not all, but some) libraries use to manage ebook loans.
Thanks! I will be checking that out!
Another awesome thing Quebec has!
