If you are in the UK you can order books online from https://uk.bookshop.org/ which shares its profits with independent bookshops.

It doesn't yet ship outside the UK but it seems they are working on it.

And they don't give money to Bezos.

@radiophobicsherkpop hi and thank you for the link. It's a great thing!

Do you know of anything similar for ebooks? Much as I love 'real' books (for all the usual reasons) I do also read a lot on an e-reader these days.

@nigelharpur Somebody mentioned the Internet Archive a bit back, and the Gutenberg project, possibly just for out of print/out of copyright stuff, but I don't know for sure as I tend to buy physical.
