Best place to buy ebooks other than Amazon? (sh.itjust.works)

I want to buy my first ebooks and I have two goals: don't pay Amazon, and give the largest possible cut to the authors. Is there something like Bandcamp for ebooks?

I'd be almost as happy to buy it from the publisher, but their website is dogshit. The buttons don't work, the phone number listed is 123-456-7890 and there's no store.
