legitimate ebook vendors, is there a list?

Hi Guys


I have recently been getting a tonne of ads on my socials for various ebooks and deals, some of them have extremely good deals, to the point where I start to think they may be dodgy.
Is there a list of "good " vendors or at least of bad vendors, i have tried searching this site for some of the names and nothing comes up

the ones I am currently seeing are

Thriller and horror dot com
book Bub?
and a couple of others that i cant remember now that i have actually sat down to query

BookBub is a legitimate site as is Thriller & Horror.

There is no real list for legitimate or pirate sites. An internet search should get you more information on any site that you run into.

What format do you get from Thriller & Horror?

It is buried deep in the sites FAQ. PDF & EPUB, but they also send to Kindle

At the risk of sounding like you. The site layout is HORRIBLE if you want to easily find anything but books.

Legit ebook vendor

If you like SF, baen.com sells DRM free epubs and they've been at it for years.

Joffe Books.

If you like a lot of FREE Westerns and some Thrillers/Mysteries. And, of course, they sell ebooks.

But they mainly focus on Westerns.
