Authors sometimes offer direct buy ebooks from their personal site so you can support the author directly.

I have a Clara Color (it was like $10 more for the color version and it gives me a pretty screen when it's powered off) and I absolutely love it. I was not a fan of ebooks until I got it. Turns out what I was not a fan of was all the other ebook readers I tried. I'm reading books on it more frequently than I ever read physical books.
