Love books? Wish Amazon would take us seriously? A great alternative!

Kossacks are bookloving people. We not only read books, we write books, we are members of book clubs and we review books!

As a bookish person myself, I am a frequent vistor and purchaser of books at amazon.com.  According to the poll in this diary, 90% of us, like me, shop at amazon.com.  I was dismayed to read the recent diary by volvodrivingliberal about Amazon's inadequate response to our concerns about their support of Ann Coulter.  

I really don't want to give up Amazon, because I find great books there, and I don't want to pay a premium to go elsewhere. So I was thrilled to find an alternative.

In a comment in volvodrivingliberal's diary, Ivan mentioned a great resource: www.bookfinder.com .  Anyone who like me cannot give up their book habit, and is also concerned about cost, could start using this site immediately instead of amazon.com for book purchases... until amazon stops promoting Ann Coulter and her hate speech by discontinuing her Amazon affiliate status.

See these comments for a discussion of how Coulter is violating amazon's affiliate agreement.

Here is some more information about Bookfinder

How cool is that?

Here is a sample search of a book that a friend of mine just wrote. I was surprised to find out that powell's books was $5 cheaper than amazon!
