JenlovesJT47 @dabbe the past few months have completely flown by! Not looking forward to the epic traffic jams by the house once school starts (there‘s a private school right down the road, then the high school a little further 😵‍💫). Time flies! 🩵🩵🩵 5d

julieclair I love this! You find the best graphics to go with your excellent haikus. 5d

JenlovesJT47 @julieclair aww thank you!! ☺️🤗 5d

How to Resist Amazon and Why: The Fight for Local Economics, Data Privacy, Fair Labor, Independent Bookstores, and a People-Powered Future! | Danny Caine

This is from an email from author and biomechanist Katy Bowman, and I've verified the print and e-book numbers (https://thetechylife.com/how-much-money-does-amazon-take-from-book-sales/). Still looking for audiobook numbers as the linked article is less detailed on those. I also learned that Amazon controls 80% of book distribution in the US.

If you, like me, are alarmed by this, check out bookshop.org, libro.fm, and kobo.com for alternatives.

Tamra I love to support local shops & the library! 💕 6d

Amiable I‘m very proud to say that I‘ve never bought a book from Amazon. I distrusted Bezos from day one and refused to purchase books from there. 6d

lil1inblue I heard a rumor that kobo is working on compatibility with bookshop.org ebooks, so soon our kobo reads may benefit local bookshops! *crosses fingers* 6d

ImperfectCJ I long ago quit buying books from Amazon, but it was in 2020 after getting one too many counterfeit/knock-off items after I'd done hours of research to order a specific brand that I cancelled my Prime membership. The only time my family orders anything through Amazon is when my kids get an Amazon gift card. I figure Amazon already has the money, no use in letting them keep it without sending something. 6d

ImperfectCJ I should probably get rid of my Goodreads account, but I've had it since well before Amazon bought them, and I feel so nostalgic. And I only use my Ring cameras as wildlife cams in my backyard, but I should probably get rid of those, too. 6d

ImperfectCJ @lil1inblue What lovely news! 🤞 6d

ImperfectCJ @lil1inblue confirmation that it's in the works is here: https://support.bookshop.org/en/support/solutions/articles/65000189169-can-i-rea... 6d

lil1inblue @ImperfectCJ This makes me so happy! 🥰 6d

Clare-Dragonfly @lil1inblue Ooh, that‘s so exciting! Thank you! 6d

Faranae I don't buy anything from Amazon if I can help it. I live in a kind of far-flung place, so this sometimes means Amazon is the only way a company serves my region, and then I mostly do without.

Incidentally, kobo e-readers can read regular epubs - kepubs work slightly better (and are easily converted to in calibre), and you can side-load any epub of pdf you want.

For GR: it's very easy to import your GR to StoryGraph or OpenLibrary! 6d

ImperfectCJ @Faranae I love StoryGraph! I actually don't use my GR anymore (haven't for several years), I just haven't deleted it yet. My fave thing about Kobo is how it's attached to Overdrive (and how it's more responsive than my old Paperwhite) 6d

GingerAntics This is precisely why I get all my audiobooks and ebooks from Apple Books or the library. I get physical copies from anyone but Amazon whenever possible. 6d

Suet624 It's important to keep pointing this out to folks who don't know this. Thank you. 6d

Tamra @ImperfectCJ I dumped GR for Storygraph and have no regrets. 6d

Ruthiella Yeah. I‘ve long stopped buying books from Amazon. Thriftbooks, Better World Books, Blackwell‘s for UK titles, Bookshop.org. There are so many other options. 6d

BarbaraBB I finally deleted my GR now. Storygraph is so much better but I still had that account 6d

AnnCrystal Wow 🥺📚💝. 6d

PuddleJumper That's terrible and yet unsurprising. I don't buy physical books from Amazon, I still use Kindle Unlimited. I'll need to research whether I can read other ebooks on my Kindle 6d

Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World | David Epstein

pick

This book celebrates those of us who believe that we should “dance in different disciplines”, meander in experiences, and not confuse a too early obsession with grit. In a time where year round and travel team youth sports have taken over, this is a testament to the value of learning and thinking from a wide range of disciplines and perspectives. Great book!

Good messages to help professionals, parents, teachers and kids not get stuck in positive or negative mindsets, either of which can cause people to be stuck and stagnant in life.
