Unless I missed something, the author states they never had issues with other services but they don’t say they intend to keep buying ebooks despite one bad experience.

One would hope the author is exaggerating but I have seen a number of people in my life be this irrational. I’m inclined to take the title as is given any lack of evidence to the contrary.

"the author states they never had issues with other service"

True, but then the author also says "So I bought it. For the first time in my life, I bought an ebook".

So I can't tell what is going on.

I thought the other sites are giving away books that either had no DRM or the DRM has been broken, repositories of bootleg ebooks. I'm also confused.
