Ultimately you still do not own these books, just like with Amazon, because they are locked into a DRM and proprietary reader, so your "purchase" can be rescinded or orphaned at any time...
• Ebooks from Bookshop.org must be read on either our Apple or Android app, or via a web browser.
• Users of Android based e ink devices, that have regular access to the Google Play app store (Boox, Meebook, etc), should be able to download and read from our Android app.
• Due to Amazon's and Barnes & Noble’s proprietary digital rights management software (DRM) and publishers' DRM requirements, it’s not currently possible to buy ebooks from Bookshop.org or local bookstores and read them on your Kindle or Nook.
