How to Resist Amazon and Why

When a company's workers are literally dying on the job, and its business model relies on preying on local businesses and even their own companies, and its CEO is the richest person in the world while its workers make minimum wage with impossible quotas...wouldn't you want to resist? Danny Caine, owner of Raven Book Store in Lawrence, Kansas, compiled this zine about his commitment to fighting Amazon. Includes: the open letter he wrote to Jeff Bezos, examples of successful social media activism, links to other resources, and some sobering words about boycotting.

The book that made me cancel my Audible Membership

In an era where convenience can too easily trump conscience, "How To Resist Amazon and Why" is a much needed wake up call urging us to reassess our consumer habits and the cost they exact on society, local economies, and the environment. The book, a passionate critique by bookstore owner Danny Caine, provides a comprehensive overview of Amazon's monopolistic practices, environmental impact, and its effect on local businesses, while also offering us actionable steps to resist this company.

Reading this book was an eye-opening experience. It reminded me that every purchase I make is a vote for the kind of world I want to live in. After listening to this audiobook, I made the decision to cancel my Audible subscription, (after being a loyal user for a decade!)

I hope you'll give this book a chance, and that this may be the last audible book you ever listen to.
