today when i asked a bookseller to carry my book, the first thing he did was look up to see how many amazon reviews it had. there were two. 😟 if you want authors to keep making the work you enjoy, rate/review their books on amazon, goodreads, b&n, etc. it makes a difference!

I would never do that, especially in front of an author!

He looked it up in front of you…? Oof.

Good grief, what rude behavior. And half the value of being a brick and mortar bookseller is stocking and being able to hand sell the stuff that isn’t algorithmically designed for Amazon eNgAgemenT.

I SO hate Amazon. I’ve never purchased even one thing from Amazon. I do want to support authors but I want to make Amazon irrelevant.

It's sad that a (presumably) indie bookseller relied on Amazon for anything.

note: i am not upset at the bookseller. i mean, good for him for figuring out a way to make amazon work for him! however, i was mortified and am disheartened by his search results. i was surprised, too, as i didn't realize anyone paid attention to amazon.

I am so sorry. That's rough, but that sorta tracks with my experiences. I have had some funky interactions.
