It's wonderful to see that Bookshop.org has expanded into e-books which will provide even more support for independent bookshops across the country (US). Set up as a B-corporation five years ago and alternative to Amazon, it allocates 80% of its profits to indies and so far has raised over 35 million dollars for approximately 2,200 participating shops.

Initially they will offer over 3 million titles, and if a title is ordered from a specific store, all profits will go to that store, profits from orders that don't specify a particular shop will be distributed.
