I must be doing something right, because this is the first I have even heard about it being any special day other than the start of the war in Gaza a couple years ago.

Besos is the trump kissing oligarch captain of retail. May his business collapse with tarrifs & global uncertainty. Amazon is a corporate machine designed to exploit workers, concentrate wealth & rob us of our communities.

Bookstores don’t really carry the things I might buy on Prime Day, so I don’t think that substitution is going to work. Costco might.

1000% YES!!!

Done! Many great ebook deals today on your site.

Have never bought a thing on Prime Day! It’s a con, always has been!

Already did! Love Bookshop.org!

Delete your Amazon people. FFS

I’m not buying anything on Amazon Prime because I don’t need anything at the moment.

The problem with indie bookstores is that many of them only sell books by trad authors. If you order an indie book via any bricks-n-mortar bookstore the author gets paid a smaller royalty, because they get a smaller piece of the pie since the bookstore takes their share out of the author's share.

Right on!

And don’t think you’re bypassing Amazon by using eBay. New items that ship free from the US and are returnable are likely to arrive in Amazon packaging.

In fact, do this every day!

Yes please! Us authors would really appreciate that!

Finally, something for me to do! 😂

Good words.

Haven’t supported Billionaire Bozo Bezos since he turned WAPO into the NYPost. It’s not hard people!

I ordered a book from my local indie on Friday. I’ll go pick it up tomorrow. That’s how I will celebrate Prime day.

For example, you can't buy my "A Young Person's Guide to Lichtenbergianism" on Amzn, but you can on Bookshop: bookshop.org/beta-search?...

Absolutely do this.

I haven't bought anything from them since the day before the inauguration.

Here's a book that came out today! bookshop.org/p/books/tayl...

I just ordered a stack of books from you last night! I appreciate all the work that's been going into improving your UX, I can tell the experience has been steadily improving over the last few years.

And other individual stores. Most retailers offer good deals for Prime Day and black friday. Shop around.

You got it!!!!

Only spending money 💰 at locally owned stores, restaurants, and other businesses now #PrimeDay

So what you're saying... Is that I should buy indie authors on itch.io and my local Powell's. Got it!

Hear,Hear!

Love our local independent bookstore. Go to gift is a gift card to Literaria.

Cancelled my Amazon Prime months ago. After a while I realized that it was just the idea that I needed it. I don’t.

@leviathanbookstore.bsky.social if you’re in #stlouis

I’m all over this assignment! I’ll be at Bookpeople in Moscow ID and Bruised Books in Pullman WA. ❤️📚

oh phew I almost muted you lol

Took the money and bought some clothes from the local red cross second hand shop. Got one hell of a bargain
