Bookshop.org for shipping books
Bookshop.org was established in 2020 to support Indie bookstores all across the U.S. Enter through our storefront on their website, order any book, get it shipped directly to your home or ship to faraway friends and family and still support us - we get a fair share of each purchase, and 10% of all sales are split evenly between all Indie bookstores.
Libro.FM for Audiobooks
Love audiobooks? Our partner Libro.fm has the same great collection as that other place, except Libro was founded by booksellers and profits are shared with Indie bookstores. You can buy individual books, subscriptions, or gift subscriptions. Just buy a book and download their app to listen!
