I feel totally vindicated in my Amazon boycott. The prices I
am getting are more than 10% better than Amazon’s deliveries to my Romanian
base.
And the relationship I have developed with the very knowledgeable bookshop owner is priceless.
My next step is probably to buy good first editions from online second-hand bookshops – although too many of them seem to have an exclusive tie-in with Amazon which charges about 10 euros for delivering an 8 euros book.
Come on independent bookshops, you can do better than this!!
The cartoon is one of several which Ethical Consumer is now using in their very welcome campaign to boycott Amazon - which also includes this guide on alternatives to the giant.
