This was in the latest bookshop.org newsletter:

"Where You Shop Matters
Amazon doesn’t care about books. They don’t care about maintaining a healthy literary ecosystem where new voices are discovered and important ideas are shared. They don’t care about sponsoring your local little league team or hosting a summer reading challenge designed to keep children learning. They want you to purchase things (so. many. things.) and they don’t care when you return it and it becomes trash.

Independent bookstores aren’t just bookstores. They are pillars of their communities and supporting them means supporting all of the incredible work they do beyond selling books.

They’re invaluable. Amazon is not."

Amen to all of this. If you have an Amazon account, end it, and support your local independent book shop instead.

This is your regular reminder that if you are the smartest person in the room, go find another room. You are not going to run out of people or rooms.
