#WritersCoffeeClub 25 How do you feel about Amazon's influence on books and publishing?
They are pernicious but unavoidable.
As a reader I use them as a distributor of physical books but buy ebooks from them very rarely (I have thousands of ebooks from other sources, but only a few dozen kindle books on my tablet and hard-drive. And I'm grumpy about the Amazon -only titles).
When I self-publish my books, I will not exclude them as a distributor, but they will not be the sole distributor.
