Not sure, but do you have a library card? If so see if the use libby or similar ebook app
Absolutely, but in particular since this is a small-time author I'd really like to pay them!
Do you have any way to get in touch with the author? If they're "small-time" they might have an easy way to contact them through their web site. I imagine they'd love to hear something like "Hi, I love your work! What is the best way for me to buy an e-book and support you?"
They have a Discord but it seems to be locked behind a Patreon, which I now see includes an ebook at some tiers. That's gotta be the best way to go!
If the author lists a Patreon thing, then that is likely the best way to pay them. I emailed one of my favorite authors directly to ask a similar question, and he replied with detailed information, including signing the copy he sent me along with a signed bookmark.
