I'm looking for a non-amazon reader for e-books. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Open to all suggestions but ideally something that doesn't tie me into a particular platform and lets me read indie-published as well as mainstream published books.
I'm an author so have no issue paying for ebooks through online bookshops. While I am trying to avoid giving money to amazon, I am very happy to keep paying authors and publishers!

I've been using Kobo for years, and epub as my preferred format because it's universal. You can convert to epub using Calibre, which is free, and which also creates a good library on your computer. No e-reader seems to sort well. -

@beach I don't want to give you advice, but I can tell you what I do. I buy books in EPUB format (I avoid proprietary formats), preferring DRM-free ones, run them through Calibre (that's why I just say "preferring," it doesn't matter), and then do what I want with them (usually I read them on my iPad).
