This lady needs a helping hand. If you want to read books, you know what to do. Besides, it'll help her fight the Frankenweenies in her country.

So, Amazon workers in Québec had voted last May to form a union to protect wages, working conditions, worker benefits and all that. (I knew a woman who worked in one of Amazon's warehouses in the USA, and she only worked there for a few weeks - the pay was horrendous, and the working conditions were appalling, standing on your feet for 8 hours, break periods were short and very far apart so she could not really rest her legs and feet, they were very sore at the end of her working day). May 2024 is kinda recent, you know?
What is Bezos's Amazon notorious for? As soon as there is talk of workers wanting to form a union, they close their operations in that country, state, province or area, and import from the nearest Amazon warehouses and use third-party delivery services.
So Amazon will be shutting down and will be laying off their Québec workers and warehouses. The articles say there are 1,700 full-time employees that will be out of a job in two months (they learned the news yesterday or Wednesday) but when all the Amazon workers, part-time included, affected by this decision are tallied, it comes roughly around 3,000 people losing their jobs.
Warmer and safer weather is just around the corner. I am vowing to never buy from Amazon again. The only thing I have to buy from them is...
Get this...
A lot of lesbian authors sell their books/novels through Amazon, either via the Kindle platform or the printed version. Not sure if Amazon makes it less of a hassle for them to do so, or if LGB publishers gives them less per book sold or the authors figure that they'll sell more books through Amazon, whatever the reason, they sell via Bezos, not all of the authors sell via Ylva or Bella or Bold. Some will, yes, sell using Ylva, but the publisher links to Amazon to buy the book on a few occasions. It's really a mess.
I have no bars to go to, or places to hang out to meet other lesbians, so I can only read books, so this is what I do now not to lose myself completely.
I don't own a Kindle e-reader. Amazon is also known for altering books (or completely deleting them from your e-reader) via its platform and the dreaded updates, because the language changes over time - I read two of the first books Amazon corrected was, if I remember correctly, The Grapes of Wrath because the word negro was in it and as we know historically that was what was used back then and so they substituted the word for less racial words (which IMO censored the author and imposes today's woke mentality that alters what once was, we can't have anything to do with History, it might hurt the snowflakes), and 1984 by George Orwell simply because Big Brother doesn't want you to know about Big Brother). So, I never bought one, I own a Kobo which is less of a problem with those silencing corrections.
Also, with Amazon's latest Kindle file format, you cannot change the type of file to allow other e-readers to read the Amazon file. What I used to do was buy the only version available they sold and would use the freeware Calibre to convert it to .epub so I could read it on my Kobo. Well, now Amazon's file format is locked down tight and to prevent Calibre and others to change its proprietary file format, through the Copyright Law they have made it illegal to do so.
So to avoid all this mess of lack of freedom of speech and of changing original material we paid for, I buy the lesbian books in paperback form, Amazon can't change the words via Internet on printed material!
But here's a doozy...
Who prints those books?
Amazon of course! So if I want to go on reading lesbian books (some of the best lesbian authors sell via Amazon), I have no choice but to continue buying from them, which makes me fucking angry and sad. So Amazon put itself into the positions of distributor, publisher and printer! So I have no choice to continue buying my books from fucking Bezos. What I might do is email individually each author and ask them to reconsider they're using Amazon for their material.
But for all the rest they sell over there, this is it, I'll really buy from local shops and if I can't, I'll use other platforms (it might be intellectual laziness on my part to only think Amazon when I think shopping online, I'll have to find other places... if there are others - Amazon probably muscled them out of business, who knows?).
