Where can I buy ebooks that will actually be mine for life?
I'm looking to change my reading and buying habits away from Amazon and need an alternate source for my ebooks. Where can I buy ebooks that won't expire or have their licence revoked and will allow me to download a copy of that ebook I can store on my own system regardless of the websites status?

Pirate the DRM free version of the e-book. And then send money to the author, either is a direct donation if they accept it, or donating a physical copy of the book to the library
Just pointing out that dozens of people work on each traditionally published book other than the author.
And all of them have been paid out. Corporations and royalties are getting the profits.
Does anyone other than the author and publisher get paid on a per-unit-sold basis?
I'm operating under the (perhaps mistaken) assumption that OP wants to "buy" an e-book in part to support those responsible for making it. And of course you can't support an editor or cover designer or publicist directly, but they do get paid indirectly because books get sold.
That is the way to go
