As for hardware alternatives to Kindle, I like Kobo and Boox.
The Kobo Clara is the best single-store eReader I've used, and it's also able to connect to Libby/Overdrive (for library borrowing) and Instapaper.
Boox makes e-ink Android devices, so you can install any reader app you want on them (plus other apps like Wallabag, or a feed reader, or even use it for web or email if you want to). I used a Poke3 for almost 5 years before upgrading to a Go 7 Color II last fall.

I’ve used Hive Books off and on for a number of years as my antidote to Amazon and they are generally very good.You can also choose to have a small percentage of your purchase donated to an independent local bookshop of your choice.
However, I have no idea if they can deliver before this Christmas.

A little reminder that the paperback editions of all eight books set along The Nod/Wells Timelines are available via Bookshop(dot)org. That means just about any book store can order and benefit from their sale!

#OTD am 16.7.95 verkaufte Jeff Bezos auf Amazon das 1. #Buch. Mit den hinterlassenen Datenspuren errechnen Algorithmen personalisierte Buch-Empfehlungen... Nicht gut?
Wer eine #AmazonAlternative sucht schaue gern hier in unserem #OnlineBuchladen:

Das Problem dabei ist, dass es eine Übersicht von Händlern nach Kategorien ist. Kategorien funktionieren aber im realen Leben selten. Was man m.E. bräuchte um Amazon etwas entgegen zu halten, wäre eine offene Platform auf die Händler Produkte laden können und in der man bei der Suche nach einem Produkt dann die Händler findet. Das ohne die verzerrende Wirkung von Google u. Co., eine Art ProduktPedia mit Händler API.

Do you buy a lot of books, for yourself, as gifts? Does it bother you to support Penis Rocket Jeff, Bootlicker of Trump?
Try bookshop.org. You can buy most titles there (not mine, yet, unfortunately), and part of your purchase goes to support independent bookstores.
I am still only on Amazon, for now. As soon as I finish the third and final volume in my series, I'm going to expand to every platform I can find.

These days when I look for a specific eBook I'll often check the author's and publisher's websites first, and see if it's available from them directly. Or if they have a preferred source.
Here are some places I've bought, borrowed, or otherwise legally acquired e-books from: https://kvibber.com/reviews/books/finding-ebooks/

Store/App Review: Bookshop.org
★★★★☆A good place to shop online for books and still support indie bookstores. They've started selling eBooks too, in standard ePub form. The reader app is a bit rough around the edges, but works well enough on a regular phone or tablet.

Bookseller/app review: eBooks.com
★★★★☆An eBook seller with some actual business ethics. No hardware (which simpilifies things), but they have an app for Android and iOS, and any DRM-free titles can be downloaded and read on just about anything.

Here you go … This gives some ebook and print versions and then below the list if you go to ‘Other options for buying this book’ you can click on XigXag and see it as an audiobook (other options in that list may also have it as an audiobook). #COYS 👍 -
