In the USA, Bookshop.org allows you to buy books online, and 10% of sales (different from 10% of profits) support independent bookstores. I have a sort-of local bookstore whose hours don’t work well with my free time. I order online from bookshop.org and designate “my” bookstore to get the 10%. Win win!

Here is more info about bookshop.org

Is the platform global or america exclusive

Don't use US Defaultism on lemmy, reddit had that problem and I don't want it here on lemmy as well
