Support you local bookseller when you buy your ebooks from #bookshopdotorg https://bookshop.org/

Do you buy a lot of books, for yourself, as gifts? Does it bother you to support Penis Rocket Jeff, Bootlicker of Trump?

Try bookshop.org. You can buy most titles there (not mine, yet, unfortunately), and part of your purchase goes to support independent bookstores.

I am still only on Amazon, for now. As soon as I finish the third and final volume in my series, I'm going to expand to every platform I can find.

Just received my Boox Go Color 7 Gen 2. Beautiful hardware, but it seems Bookshop.org hasn’t added support for page turning with the hardware buttons yet. Major disappointment factor, for me.

Oh yes speaking of buying books:

#BookshopDotOrg is doing an #AntiPrime Sale
1- Free Shipping on Bookshop.org Today (Oct 8) and Tomorrow (Oct 9)
2- Some challenge with a place called "Commons" "earn rewards when you skip amazon in october"
it looks like you dl an app and it basically functions like buycott to get you to buy shit from somewhere else. I know NOTHING about this and I am *NOT* Endorsing it. Here is the link if you want it though

okay, my personal let's-stop-giving-money-to #Amazon campaign is making progress: #christmas gifts from my siblings (as I requested) are all from #bookshopDotOrg #bookshop . A small step but it's #progress !

My experience is that bookshop(.)org is receptive to kind, polite feedback if you think the steps above could use improvement. They'll do bookshop outreach if you ask them to, in case you know of an unlisted Black-owned store.

They use browser cookies and affiliate URLs (think of now defunct smile.amazon.com; I'm sure that was their model). Human frailty means you will eventually forget to check. Private browsing, clear cookies, switch device or browser, "*boop* what preferred bookstore?" 😖
I pointed this out via a decent email dialog with #BookshopDotOrg over 12 months ago. The fact that it still works in this deeply suboptimal way is intentional, if only intentional neglect.

Bookshop.org and libro.fm are absolutely part of the coalition in my mind. Both are fantastic candidates for #AdversarialInteroperability — like maybe a #Bookwyrm plugin or #Firefox browser extension — to smooth over the rough edges until they do the work on their end.

@Tengeri i've not had to deal with that problem so I probably don't have the answer. Wouldn't a local bookshop have books translated to french, or is it a lockdown issue? There is #bookshopdotorg, but personally I boycott that too because it's a #CloudFlare site.
