- 23 Best Amazon Alternatives for Ethical Online Shopping
- 16 Alternatives To Audible for Ethical Audiobook Lovers
- 9 Best Online Bookstores That Aren’t Amazon
Quite some of the companies in these three lists are American so they might not be the best eu alternatives, but still wanted to share these three lists.
In the UK:
- Waterstones - bricks and mortar shop
- Awesome Books - online only, often the cheapest price
- Hay-on-Wye - the town of books
Waterstone’s (and now Blackwells as Waterstones bought them) are majority owned by an American investment company with a minority shareholder being a Russian billionaire.
In April 2018, Elliott bought a majority stake in Waterstones, leaving Alexander Mamut’s Lynwood Investments with a minority holding.[80] The sale completed in May 2018. James Daunt will remain as chief executive.[81]
