Hey @Maurice I'm doing the same thing. I'm going to allow my Amazon prime account to lapse as well. They got over on me this year with the auto renewal. Plus my kids (grown) who share my account will probably not be very happy :-) I share one's HBO account and another's Hulu. But I pay for CBS all Access so I might still have some leverage. I was unaware of Dark Days by James Baldwin, and I just added it to the site. Here is the problem. I can get the book from my distributor so drop shipping (having the distributor ship to the customer on my behalf), for me, is not possible, so I can't sell the book directly -- unless I buy directly from the publisher, which is not practical for me. B&N.com isn't even selling the book. How else can one buy this book?

Hello Troy! I did not realize that when I posted as a guest it would create an account. I have added an avatar to the account I logged in with. Thanks - the book came from some of the things I learned on the journey. I did not ask myself all of the questions I now know to ask. I don't know that anyone other than a fellow entrepreneur who had gotten to the point of "figuring it out" could have told me what to expect. It's a continual process of learning and growth!

Every little bit helps. Readers must patronize the business they are interested in seeing not just survive, but thrive. Far too many of us, who express an interest Black books don't support the business that produce Black books. Instead we invest of money in Amazon a business that has clearly demonstrated that all they want is our money and if they have to obliterate every Black-owned publisher, printer, or bookseller to do it they will. I'm part of been part of the problem too, but working hard to correct that.
