> When she heard that Jeff Bezos was getting married in Venice this June, Heather Jane Johnson felt worse than she had in her entire life. Twenty-five years ago, she ceased trading as a bookseller in Boston, Massachusetts. “I lost a lot because of Bezos and the complicity of Americans in the making of Amazon,” the 53-year-old says. “A big reason I moved to Italy is because I felt betrayed by my countrypeople.”

I like how she blames the "complicity of Americans in the making of Amazon", which I believe gets overlooked a lot. Isn't one way of eliminating billionaires to stop using their products?

If she continues to use Amazon it’s probably in her best interest to be a prime member. No point in cancelling if you continued to constantly use Amazon.

It says on each book page "Compatible epub — All devices and apps except Kindles and Kobos." - but i think this is incorrect bc epub is now the preferred format for Kindle.
