- Bookshop.org, an online bookstore, was launched in January 2020 to help independent bookstores survive Amazon.
- Now the company may be introducing its first physical e-reader, presenting a direct competitor to the Amazon Kindle.
- There is currently a blank landing page for an e-reader visible on the Bookshop.org site.
In a compelling new development for e-book readers, Bookshop.org, known for championing independent bookstores, might soon bring a fresh competitor to the hardware space dominated by Amazon’s Kindle.
Since its launch in 2020, Bookshop.org has carved out a niche as the Amazon alternative for people who want their online purchases to support small, local shops. Over the past five years, the platform has funneled millions of dollars to independent bookstores, cementing itself as a functional, reader-friendly marketplace.
