I don’t see myself using Bookshop.org’s new e-books until there’s Kindle support, but now that I’ve read this article on Wired, I’m convinced they’re on the right track. From CEO Andy Hunter:

The first step is to launch the platform. Our second step is to make it popular, so we have leverage. And then we can start fixing what we consider to be the industry problems around ebooks.

@manton I've been looking for a good alternative to move away from Kindle. This allows me to switch to a Boox eReader which I'm excited for.

I just need to sit down with Calibre to free my Kindle books and bring them over.

@rlounsbury @manton does your library use Libby? Here in Canada most libraries work directly with Kobos for lending.

That said, I do wish Bookshop would come to Canada.

@awhite @manton My library does and I do use it.

@drwalt I like my Kindle but maybe it’s time to look at other options. Boox seems neat too.

@manton I agree with the need for Kindle support.I do like using the Kindle. I also read a lot of authors that are only on the Kindle platform for the self publishing. I hope that Bookshop.org starts looking at that as well.

@manton I did, too (although they seemed very heavy to me).
