There’s nothing as enjoyable as delving into a new book, but with bookstores closed, how can you get new reading material? Books are a great source of entertainment while social distancing and they can distract you from these tough times. Most bookstores are offering free shipping and some have started drop-off and curbside pick-up. Here are some places to buy books online to help get you started.
Bookshop.org
This online bookselling platform was launched this year and it works with independent bookstores. The company shares 10% of the list price with its indie bookstore partners and in response to the coronavirus, they are currently sharing 30% of the sales with indie bookstores.
E-Books
E-books are available through Amazon, Apple Books, or Scribd for only $9.99 a month and the first month is free! The audiobooks, books, and magazines can be directly downloaded to your device.
Audiobook
Audiobook platforms allow you to read novels aloud. Libro.fm is currently offering membership packages that give you deals like two audiobooks for the price of one and 100% of the payment goes to your local bookstore. Audible subscriptions can be purchased for $14.95 per month after a 30-day trial.
