I’ve already ranted about the problem with shopping on Amazon Prime and why I “broke up” with Jeff Bezos.
In the 5+ years since I’ve cancelled my Amazon Prime membership and given the entire online store the axe, I’ve done a lot of research on where to buy books online other than Amazon.
Turns out, it’s not that hard. It’s not expensive. And it doesn’t take extra effort from your end. But the social and environmental impact is real—and very worth it.
In this post, I share my top 5 favorite alternatives to Amazon for books—for everything from physical books, audio books, and ebooks to new and used copies with worldwide (free) shipping.
I also share the 3 main reasons why I stopped buying books (and everything else) from Amazon and why you might want to consider doing the same.
