Bookshop.org just launched, US-only initially, with 3 million titles; they pay affiliates 30% commission, whereas Amazon apparently pays Kindle affiliates 5-10% commission (+ bounties for SM campaigns, which is getting annoyingly overdone).

One way we can boost Bookshop.org is anytime we cite a book to use their URL instead of Amazon's URL. So here's "Nineteen Eighty Four" https://bookshop.org/p/books/nineteen-eighty-four-george-orw...

Yes they should add a filter for DRM-free, or allow setting it as your default.

From TheVerge article: *"The app... has a unique social feature: “We’ll allow anybody to share any quote from any ebook to social media, and then people who are on social can click through, buy the ebook, and start reading it on their phone immediately.”"
