As
Amazon announces their priorities during the COVID-19 crisis, maybe we should
take a little pressure off them. They may have trouble shipping books now or in
the near future, temporarily.
With
the help of a bunch of people on Facebook, I’ve collected some online paperback
book sources for you to consider. You NEED to buy some books when you’re shut
in, right? Many of these also sell e-books, too. Though I don’t think
Amazon/Kindle is interrupted, a lot of people have other kinds of e-readers,
including me.
I’m
giving preference to my own publishers’ sites—can’t blame me for that, right? I
haven’t tried all of these, but they’ve all been recommended. Some of them
offer curbside pickup. Some are beloved local bookstores and some of those have
had to close the physical building to customers.
Feel
free to add your favorites in the comments. Let’s keep reading!

Hi Kaye,
Thanks for this list. What a great reminder we have other sources.
I'd like to add BelleBooks to your list. I'll admit they are my publisher, but they have many great authors.

Thanks again!
I'm certainly reading (and baking) more. I appreciate the list. It will be helpful.
A helpful list. Thanks, Kaye.
Great list, thanks.
Thanks for the addition, Jackie!
https://books2read.com/ is also a good resource :-)
Thanks for the tip, Elle! Appreciate it.
bookshop.org connects with indie bookstores to fulfill online sales.
Gary, thanks for the addition!
Abe Books has been a subsidiary of Amazon since 2008, unfortunately.
Thanks for the tip, Anonymous.
