georgefrowny | on: The emergence of print-on-demand Amazon paperback books
It's also incredibly annoying that Amazon slurped up AbeBooks way back in 2008.

biblio.org is a good alternative where I am (although personally I don't see the problem with having either the print-on-demand books or buying used from Amazon as an option).

Isn't AbeBooks for collecting old books? That's what I use it for. Abebooks and eBay. lots of out of print vintage niche books that way, like early JA->EN translations of novellas.

It is annoying, but bookshop.org is a good alternative to both Abe and Amazon, presenting a single shop front to lots of bookshops.

Betterworldbooks.com is my go to. They usually have everything for decent prices. And you can buy used or new for most things.
