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

[-] sploosh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

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

"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

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

[-] slartibartfast@feddit.uk 1 points 1 month ago

Those are used to replace "and" obviously.

[-] OhNoMoreLemmy@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month 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 ".

Updated the comment

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

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

[-] AliasAKA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

This link goes to a 404 error

[-] AliasAKA@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Thanks! Should be fixed!

What’s so bad about Amazon? It’s nice to have 2 day shipping and not have to go out of your way to get somewhere.

[-] letsgo2themall@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

they treat their employees like garbage. they are union busters. Bozos backed a felon for US president. Just to name a few.

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

They provide the cloud infrastructure for the Israeli army.

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.

[-] Grimm@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Adding it to the TBR.

[-] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month 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.
