I am afraid that we've had to remove @Bookshop_Org and Bookshop.org from our results because we can't reliablly search their catalogue.

Where possible ebooks.com make DRM free copies of the books they sell available. We've updated Ethical Book Search to show "DRM free" in the results when it is an option. See the results for Martha Wells' "All Systems Red" for example ethicalbooksearch.com/books/m/ol:OL1…
