Controversial retail take
I've used them and all but honestly it is not clear to me that bookshop dot org is genuinely better on a warehouse labor conditions level than Amazon? But would be happy to be told they are actually good and fair employers or whatever
Controversial retail take
@ingrid I do not like them. They are e-lit doing a monopoly end-run for a book distributor with a nonsense model of giving a pittance to used book stores that say they are indie brick and mortar. I just signed up for https://tertulia.com/ for the next year and moved all my books-by-friends preorders there.

Controversial retail take
@ingrid I figured for $25/year it checks my boxes of "want to feel like I'm saving money vs retail", "want to be able to preorder books by friends when they post about them”, “want the dopamine hit of free shipping”
