#13From where do you guys purchase or download (free) EPUBS? I wanted Christensen books and didn't find any. Either they are tied to Kindle or Noob.

For public domain books there's https://standardebooks.org
Project Gutenberg also gives you EPUB downloads for any of their ebooks. (Though some older ebooks are transcribed/processed as text-only, so the HTML/EPUB is autogenerated and loses the original structure.)
StandardEbooks are book from Gutenberg that have been cleaned and make to look nicer. See https://standardebooks.org/about/

From the same people that run sci hub. Please remember that authors need to eat too though. If you have money you should support them by buying their books or they may write fewer of them for you to enjoy.
If they work thru big publishers authors get actually very little from every book purchase. So in practice most of your payments go to feed large majors. I wish more authors would go the path of self publishing so they can maximize their compensation per book sale.

Removing DRM from (purchased) EPUBs or MOBIs and/or converting them works extremely well. Otherwise, there are numerous websites that offer downloads, IRC and BitTorrent.

It's not just "cleaned and make to look nicer". StandardEbooks ebooks contain editorial changes from the original text. They're tagged in the changelog, but they're mixed with technical edits so there's no easy way to revert them. I'd rather read the Project Gutenberg versions.

The pop-ups can be pretty annoying, but just close them and persist; the download links are pretty legit.

F1-m translates to "C-h m", which is the standard Emacs command to show information about the current major-mode. It's not specific to nov.el.
