Do you ever wish you could do three good deeds at once? Good news: You can! If you buy a book from either of our independent bookstore wishlists between now and May 5th, 2025, 3 good things will happen:

1. An incarcerated reader will receive a book.

2. Your gift will be matched by a generous donor (for a maximum of
$1,000 per wishlist).

3. You will support independent bookstores.

#IndieBookstoreDay #IndependentBookstoreDay

Picked up a copy during Indie Bookstore Day

#IndieBookstoreDay

Because it's #IndieBookstoreDay, I did an experiment I've been wanting to do.

Bookshop.org now sells ebooks. The ones that are DRM-free – clearly marked on the site – can be downloaded & read on any device.

So I bought a book that had been on my 'to-buy' list ( @clpolk's "Soulstar”) & tested it on my favorite iOS ereader (Marvin) & on my Kindle. Total success.

You can also set your favorite indie bookshop as "your” shop, so they get the profit from the sale.

So much better than you-know-who.
