When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations.

For a company that “helps bookstores market” you sound preeeetty cagey sometimes ~
If you have a clearer question, lemme know ~
The average business doesn't have to post their company website address on every single status update when people know how to click the username.
I shared the best & correct link, based on their own topic.
Be independent
You can make a difference
Butchers used to have sawdust on the floor, grocery shops packed sugar in paper bags - just think of the lack of plastic!
My only requirement
If what I want is only on Amazon, I want something else.
But I admire your spirit.

Question
Does 1 credit = 1 rental?
Even for more expensive audiobooks
I signed up and chose my local indie shop! Thanks!
Amazon alternatives would be good if affordable

Less than 100 percent.
It said Amazon basically *owned* our inventory, we were just storing it until sold.
We were to make up ISBNs for books printed prior to 1970.
We would only get set $ for shipping even for sets of encyclopedias.
HOW do you help these indie bookstores?
I clicked on the 22 page PDF provided there and still don't know.
Can you explain how it works in a sentence or two?
Thanks.
Buying a BOOK FROM AN INDEPENDENT BOOKSTORE gives 100 percent
Your percent?
Also supports independent bookstores.
