When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations.

When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

A friend once took a bite from a Red Delicious while we were chatting, then took a long look at the apple, finished chewing, and said sadly “This tastes like the idea of an apple.” This perfectly captures how I feel about Red Delicious apples.
