Amazon replacements:

Audiobooks: Libro.fm (no DRM)
eBooks: eBooks.com (specifically, their DRM-free section)
Shopping: basically any major online retailer's website
Electronics: System76 (for gaming machines), ThinkPenguin (for FOSS machines)
Groceries: your local grocer, lol.

As for video streaming, it's going to take a breakup of the Big Tech monopolies via revival of anti-trust laws to fix that. Hear the first chapter of The Internet Con (skip to 2m5s) by Cory Doctorow for more on that.

Lol time to unprime

The only reason I still have Prime Video is because of a super weird bug where it tries to charge an already expired card. Somehow, it doesn't register as expired and I can just "renew" it every month
