      for books, there is leslibraires.ca!

      they work with local, independent bookstores instead of having their own stock, which is a much better idea than amazon imo

        Know if any place to get audiobooks. I mean now I get on my boat but if a local Canadian company was offering.

          It’s not quite what you were asking for, but libro.fm – which is American – does give part of its profit from sales to a bookstore of your choosing, and you can select Canadian bookstores to receive that benefit. Not sure what the cut looks like exactly though.

    Please people, cancel all these stupid subscriptions and delete your amazon account. I lived all my life without it, I promise you you dont need this.

      Definitely a perfect world. I kept my Amazon account and keep an eye out whenever there’s a huge discount on a product such as their warehouse deals. I was too slow to finalize my order of an APC UPS that was over 50% off.

        Yeah I don’t shop Amazon anymore but my parents use my prime account for tv so when I asked them if I could cancel it, my mom just said she would start paying it and I’m not trying to pass off my payments to my parents so unless I can somehow teach my 60+ year old tech-illiterate parents the ways of the sea, I’m stuck handing my money to the fuckers (the company are the fuckers, not my parents)
