Survey Results: "Would You Stop Buying Books from Amazon to Save the Book Industry?"
We Decided Not to Pursue a Boycott of Amazon
Based upon feedback, we determined it would be best to abandon the idea of boycotting Amazon’s Bookstore and to join the #readingblack movement. #readingblack encourages readers of all colors to read books written by Black writers and to buy those books from independent booksellers.
Readers provided explanations for “Why I would Boycott Amazon,” “Why I would not boycott Amazon,” and “Why I’m not sure.” Over 160 readers commented on the original poll.
