Where to buy non-kindle-format (epub,azw) e-books which look like the printed books? If I want to buy e-copy of academic books, most of the publishers (Oxford, Cambridge, etc.) direct to amazon store or allow epub version. However, I do not want the e-pub or other formats (e.g. azw) as the ebook in this format does not have the actual pagination and format of the printed copy.
So, is there a store or place where I can buy the e-copy of the book (preferably in pdf format) which actually looks like the printed copy (having the actual page numbers and format/style of the printed copy)?
I am aware that some of the kindle books do come with both &quot;locations&quot; and &quot;actual page numbers&quot; to avoid the above problem. However, this is feature is not available for the majority of the books (as I open the sample version and check). Also, I miss the style/formatting of the printed book.
I have the same problem. For Springer, I usually buy at its website, where you can find the PDF version. For Oxford and Cambridge, when I cannot find a decent Kindle version, I usually buy at ebooks.
However, for ebooks.com:

The number of available titles is limited, and I couldn't find titles that according to the publishers should be available as e-books.
The PDF is DRM-protected, which is an annoyance.
