    My friends: having heard how much Bezos has donated to Trump, I've decided MY BOOKS WILL NO LONGER BE SOLD THROUGH AMAZON. You can find them at endangeredalphabets.com by clicking on the Shop tab. It may lose me sales, but I refuse to fund the destruction of the US.

      @Endangeredalphabets ISTR an author recently posting on here pointing out she made way more per sale selling direct than going through Amazon?

      I've already had to do this for specialist non-fiction books (albeit an e-book) from Germany, as my country decided to mistakenly leave the EU so even Amazon couldn't get the book to the UK and other online sellers didn't want to deal with me due to extra admin requirements, but I was able to get it direct from the publisher and it was a painless process..

            @Endangeredalphabets not so much a question, more an encouragement as if the logistics work out well (like what the Germans achieved) its likely better for you to sell the book direct (especially with the extra offers I noticed you have for its use in an educational context).

            If I encounter any teachers (sometimes I meet them as part of work I do with the community radio) I will tell them about this book, I live in a large multicultural town where it would be of interest..

              @vfrmedia That is so kind of you! Yes, it's a moving target. If we make a comparison to another pro-Trump medium, Twitter, I had a fabulous community until Musk bought it. What was an unquestionable choice became a questionable choice, then a desert. Who knows if Amazon will suffer a similar abandonment? If so, then own-website selling may grow strongly....

                  @Endangeredalphabets I think even one of my work colleagues may be (BTW a heads up - there is a bug on the website where the menu appears twice, including a frame in the middle of the screen - this can be confusing as it looks like the shop isn't working)

                      @Endangeredalphabets

                      here are the screenshots on all 3 main browsers, it also happens on mobile but isn't as obvious due to the change in design you get on mobile. If you have scrolled down to get past the header image, it looks like the menu /should/ work and to some extent it does, but the results are in the frame with scrollbars so you can't easily see them!
