Bookshop dot org may be an annoying site to use, I don't know. Amazon is also a spammy and junky website that sucks to use though.

I don't know who owns bookshop dot org but I do know Jeff Bezos is like, at best one step above being a modern slaver and Amazon is definitively complicit in genocide against Palestinians.

So like, yeah there's no ethical consumption under capitalism, I'm not saying bookshop dot org isn't probably also doing son shit behind the scenes, don't know much about them, but Amazon is absolutely one of the most malign forces currently extant on this planet.

Amazon actually is less spammy, from the emails I received, and really does have better implications in data privacy.

Amazon is definitely evil, we are agreed, but I have only so much time and energy to expend and I only have so many compromises I can make.

I think I'll ultimately just not read these books, unless they arrive on the high seas or if I find myself in a bookstore in the coming years
