5 Amazon Alternatives for Book Buying [Global 🌍]
Wondering if Amazon is realistically the only option for book-buying? Need a few more options that you can choose from instead?
In this video, I share 5 alternatives to Amazon for all your book-buying needs, whether you’re looking for ebooks, audiobooks, or physical books.
Oh, and as a bonus, most of the suggestions in this video are available to shop globally.

Do you use any Amazon alternatives?
Thank you So MUCH for putting this together. I loathe Amazon. And when I lived in the states there was this fantastic website called thriftbooks that I used but when I moved to Europe I had a hard time finding a similar type of site. Thank you for this list 💜 buhbye amazon
If your libary doesn’t use Libby I might use another app. Mines uses Borrow Box.
I have Kindle but never buy books from Amazon. Instead, I buy EPUB files and convert them to Kindle with Calibre. I don’t like paying for books and letting 3rd party decide what can and cannot be on my device. My Kindle is 100% offline, thus no worry about my books disappearing without notice.
Guess which advertisement I got after your video? Audible 😂😂😂
I do ebook looking for other alternatives aside from Amazon. And, got this. Thank you! Which platform accept classic books?
