Non-Amazon Online Bookstores - Travels with Kaye

We're still in "Stay at Home" mode here in Washington state, so Panzer has been doing a little cleaning to keep busy. When he was washing the Panzermobile today he discovered a post in one of the wheel wells. Flattening it out, our fastidious kitty boy discovered it was a post from the Travels with Kaye site and contained a list of online bookstores. It's a post from April, but for anybody who's still in "Stay at Home" mode its a useful list.

Yay! So much time and so many books!

According to the post by site owner Kaye George, this is a list of online bookstores not including Amazon. The list came about when Amazon said books were not a priority and shipments would be slower than usual. There are over 30 online bookstores on the list. There are both print and ebook stores.

Panzer says, "This little kitty didn't know there were this many online bookstores."

Note: With all of the online bookstores on the list this is a long post. Bring a cup of tea and two muffins for while you read the list.

Argh! Is Piracy a Problem for Novelists? - Travels with Kaye

Panzer was just settling down for a nice nap when he heard strange sounds coming from the Catosphere. Hopping in the Panzermobile he followed all the noises to the Travels with Kaye site. There our adventuresome kitty discovered a post about copyright infringement and pirate book sites.

Something else to worry about.

According to author and site owner Kaye George, it just might not be worth the effort to go after book pirates. Maybe, getting the extra reader attention from the pirated book might be a bonus instead of a detriment. The post includes links to other sites with opinions on both sides of the issue.

Panzer says, "Hmm ... This little kitty has never looked to see if his books have been pirated. Maybe he should?"

Note: This is a medium post. Bring a cup of tea and a muffin for today's reading selection. If you plan to follow the links and read the other posts, bring a thermos of tea and half a dozen muffins.
