Alternatives to Amazon

My books including "Socialist Reviews" are published on Amazon and I have used them for purchases which support Cafod. However, there is a growing move to tax Amazon or possibly expropriate them for tax dodging.

The latest trick on Amazon is to advertise attractive offers but then label them as "only available to Prime users" which means of course you have to pay over the odds for these "special offers".

However there are alternatives to using Amazon which you can always look at. They are detailed here:
