I've edited the title to get rid of the advertise-y language, I can also take down the post

I thought it was relevant because people can use a Canadian payment method instead of PayPal

I actually use Rakuten to get e-books cause I live in a rather small space. Rakuten also rather clearly labels their books for whether they’re DRM-ed or not, and has a bunch of non-DRM-ed books. This is a win for me.

I've used it a bit. It's fine, though these things that act through browser extensions are understandably met with skepticism. The e-transfers seem pretty useful to those who use the service.
