E-books are becoming increasingly popular, but independent bookstores struggle to compete with larger platforms like Amazon. Bookshop.org, established in 2020, has introduced a new e-book platform designed specifically to support these local sellers. The platform promises to return 100% of the profits to independent bookstores, allowing them to sell e-books directly. Andy Hunter, the founder and CEO, highlights that strict digital rights management has previously hindered e-book sales for many local bookstores. The new initiative may offer them a valuable new income stream while fostering community ties.
E-books have become significant revenue streams for independent bookstores, helping them compete against major platforms while supporting local economies.
