I’ve only used Bookshop.org a couple of times, but I have to say that I barely use Amazon anymore for actual books buying. I’ve used the ThriftBooks, Alibris, Biblio, Barnes & Noble, eBay, my own local bookstores. Book sales are completely commodified and Amazon is not really any more compelling except you might save on shipping.

- Apocryphon 2y agoAmazon as a website is way more heavy-duty than it needs to be, and its overall UX is stuck in the mid-00s.
