That analogy doesn’t really hold. In the US, the local language is pretty much just english, and I’d be surprised if there was a trend of people in Chicago going to bookstores to buy books written by locals. Not to mention that Amazon is not really weak when it comes to books written by anyone, local or otherwise. They are all likely to be available on Amazon.
