It's that time of year where folks start talking about boycotting Amazon (which I am 100% onboard with). Please very much do that.

I'm always torn when the common path of that protest is "Shop indie bookstores”

Yes, BUT. Most indie bookstores don't stock indie authors.

Shop indie author websites. Shop Amazon competitors for ebooks. At a minimum, ask your local indie store to order the indie book you want. Colleen Hoover is doing just fine.

Adding that, I'm pretty much only talking about ebooks. Print is 1% of my income so it's rarely on my mind. It's also the least profitable, and most difficult.

So yeah. This is about ebooks. If you're a paperback person, ask your bookstore to order indie books from Ingram, or really just do Amazon because, they really have made that part streamlined especially for international orders.
