E books are a complete failure as far as I am concerned because DRM

You're doing it wrong, then. Try Google Play, for a start.

Does that have a standalone Linux version?
It seems to e a store selling online services and apps for android.. I
dont want a store selling online services Or apps for Android. I want to
download and tread by Ebooks off line. On linux..

You're reading it wrong.

It sells real e-books. You must have missed that. In epub format.


But full of DRM. Or notr woryth buying.

You guys think yiu are ahead, but you aint caught oin toi teh full horror.


Here are four ebook readers for Linux.

Where?

I already have two that work perfectly well. For un DRMed unencrypted
Epubs.

That I cant buy.

Just to give you a choice. I don't
use Linux, so I can't speak for all of them, but I use Calibre elsewhere.
It even reads DRM-protected Kindle books.
