Iโ€™m looking for a store where I could buy e-books which are usable by Kindle. I donโ€™t use the e-reader that much, so I donโ€™t want to buy a completely new device as the old one is perfectly fine. But I also want to have an option to use it from time to time (Amazon already got their money so it would be a waste to buy a new device)

My main problem (and please correct me if Iโ€™m wrong) is, that stores which I found mostly contain books in epub format (with DRM) which canโ€™t be opened by the Kindle and which would need to be converted via 3rd party applications.

Are there some good stores with ease of use thatโ€™s similar to the Amazonโ€™s one? Buy a book, send it to device, done. Or do I need to accept, that I will need to somehow convert books before using them?

Some models also have the option of ditching amazon for cfw which means out the box pdf and epub compatibility.
