Where's a good place to buy books from not Amazon?

[-] FriskyDingo@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Barnes and noble has it. Also, try thriftbooks.com.

[-] sploosh@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Powells.com, the largest independent book seller I'm aware of.

[-] match@pawb.social 3 points 11 months ago

Barnes and Noble has it. don't buy from amazon.

Even better, buy it through bookshop.org and also support a local bookstore: https://bookshop.org/p/books/careless-people-a-cautionary-tale-of-power-greed-and-lost-idealism/22213433

The hard cover is on back order, but they sell an ebook version.

"Book from a whistleblower - titled 'Meta' - that was declined from being promoted is now a best seller on Amazon"

Sometimes I hate the whole "proper prose title" that articles use

Edit:
Perhaps it's "Book from whistleblower that Meta blocked from being promoted is now a best seller on Amazon".
I didn't read the article. The title broke my brain

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 21 points 11 months ago

Heck, prose aside, is there something wrong with commas?

[-] slartibartfast@feddit.uk 4 points 11 months ago

Those are used to replace "and" obviously.

[-] OhNoMoreLemmy@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago

It's just that punctuation is not meant to be used in titles.

English has a bunch of weird rules.

"Book from a whistleblower - titled 'Meta' - that was declined from being promoted is now a best seller on Amazon"

No? "Book from a whistleblower that Meta blocked from being promoted is now a best seller on Amazon ".

Meta promotes books?
Updated the comment

Funniest thing, I would’ve never known about this book if Meta hadn’t tried to block the sales of it. Definitely going to read it and see how it is.

[-] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 29 points 11 months ago

Barbara strikes again!

[-] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 11 months ago

Streisand! Streisand! Streisand!

[-] pmk@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 11 months ago

I wonder if we could get Barbara to endorse or at least comment on this book on whatever social media she's on.

[-] nick@midwest.social 4 points 11 months ago

Whoops!

[-] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

How the fuck is an anti-disparagement clause even allowed to exist and how the fuck is it enforceable 8 years after she no longer works for the company, that's absolutely bullshit.

Normally I would hope for the government to step in and say this is not remotely legal. But unfortunately our government is currently in the hands of billionaire buddy Donnie F Trump.
