   I honestly can’t believe that I was today years old when I discovered https://bookshop.org. For those who don’t know, https://bookshop.org is an online bookshop that returns 30% of the cover price to your chosen local bookshop.

   Even better — I discovered I new local bookshop that I had no idea existed.

   My father gifted me a gift card to Bookshop.org, and I am paralyzed. Do I buy a beloved, already-read book to add to my home library? Or do I buy a new, untested book that my town library doesn't have in circulation?

   #bookstodon siblings. I am in crisis, and I need your help.

   Looking for sites that support local bookstores - I have come across bookshop.org -

   Can anyone recommend other sites/services?

   (I'm thinking specifically of services that people can use when they don't have easy access to a locally owned bookstore)

   Thanks for any recs!

   Bought "Cahokia Jazz" and "A Natural History of Empty Lots" off Bookshop.org from this... thanks for the reviews.

   Hey Fedi Readers: want to avoid Amazon for books?

   Ebooks: Nook, Apple, GooglePlay&Kobo have apps for any device.

   Print books: https://bookshop.org/ benefits small bookstores

   Audiobooks: there are a zillion audiobook distributors

   All 3: USE THE LIBRARY (they pay authors)

   Where do folks go to get DRM-free epub books when they're trying to avoid Amazon and Barnes & Noble?

   I use bookshop.org and thriftbooks.com for my hard copies of things, but I LOVE my eBooks too.

   Right now the only advantage to Amazon is that I can legally break the DRM, so the book is truly mine once I purchase it (I won't buy eBooks I can't unlock). But I'd really like to find alternate sources of DRM-free books. Ideas?
