I need help regarding that. I am collecting old paperbacks of teen detectives ala Nancy Drew (Cherry Ames, Vicki Barr, etc) and I usually order them from Amazon UK. Any recommendations for an alternative?
As an author I do not have the power to remove my book from Amazon. People can sell it there. If I could I wouldn’t be pleading with you all to buy elsewhere.
We've lost count at how many Kindles we've (including late sister-in-law) owned over the years. We're looking at switching to Barnes and Noble and Nook. (As a NYC'er I was a Barnes and Noble fan long before they spread nationwide.)

So, for someone who recently got given a Kindle as a gift (which I am very much enjoying as an e-book), is there a way to get e-books on my Kindle, not via Amazon, or am I stuck with buying Amazon books if I want to use my Kindle?
I get my audio from the library. My town, they have the old CD style + online ebooks (first, download the library app for audio). Thriftbooks had 91k results for audio books.
They're out there! Good luck w your hunt.
Here is an alternative online site in the UK. They focus on working with small high street shops to ensure online business isn't destroying our local bookstores.
They don't have you're book. Might be cool to contact them so we can buy it from there.
Because an author almost never has a say. Her book with Duke University Press is distributed just as all books with DUP are distributed: through major content group Ingram, who of course distributes to Amazon.
But authors can let their publishers know that they don’t want their books to be distributed to Amazon. If enough do it, then publishers may respond. Organize!
That’s a great long term goal, but until Amazon has less than the lion’s share of book sales, publishers cannot afford to not have their titles there. Academic publishers like DUP have very small profit margins - even the big five publishers would quickly fold if they didn’t list on Amazon.
But if consumer habits shift far enough that the risk involved in abandoning Amazon is no longer a fatal risk, authors organizing around this issue would be amazing and effective
My most recent book is self published (well, my own imprint anyway) and I still have no way to keep my work off Amazon. Once you authorize extended distribution from IngramSpark there is no control over the listing. Wish I could remove it.

In fact, I don't know why Amazon just doesn't go full CostCo and sell in bulk for cheaper. How does it change anything?

I wonder if the library has ebooks I can take screenshots from easily.
