Bookshop.org Launches E-book Platform to Support Local Bookstores

To combat Amazon's dominance in online book sales, Bookshop.org has launched its own e-book platform. This new platform allows independent bookstores to sell e-books directly to customers for the first time, offering nearly a million titles and features like annotation and social sharing. The initiative aims to help local bookstores thrive in the digital age by enabling them to directly profit from e-book sales and fostering community engagement through social media.
