Bookshop.org recently launched an e-book platform aimed at providing readers with an alternative to Amazon for purchasing digital books. This move is part of their commitment to support independent bookstores, who have long struggled against the online retail giant. While it offers a way for consumers to buy e-books, the service currently only works through web browsers and their mobile apps, highlighting the need for compatibility with e-readers like Kindle. Critics acknowledge this launch as a significant step but caution that it won't fully address Amazon's monopolistic control over the e-book market.
When we launched Bookshop.org, the vision was to support local bookstores in their battle against Amazon and other online retailers.
Bookshop selling e-books is not a cure-all. Amazon has monopolized the e-book space for way too long for it to be.
