in light of the Amazon strike, I wanted to offer some alternative online stores you can use INSTEAD OF Amazon for the upcoming months until the employees at Amazon are granted some basic common decency 🙂

rakuten.com – has nearly everything Amazon has

ebay.com – just be careful for scams!

newegg.com – for electronics/technology

emusic.com – music for as little as $1!! They also have a membership program where you can get music for even less!!

barnesandnoble.com – they have collectible items and childrens toys too!

This is great!

indiebound.org – books, and they make it easy to locate and purchase from local independent bookstores near you who Amazon would otherwise be putting out of business 

Addall also lets you search for the lowest price on books via multiple websites & sellers worldwide (doesn’t include eBay, but it has most of the other big online book sellers)— and Open Library has free ebook rentals (all legally above-board!), including a bunch that don’t “technically” have ebook releases, because OL also pulls from Google’s log of digitized/scanned analog books as well.

Don’t overlook traditional libraries right now, either; a lot have digital rental & streaming media services included with your membership now, like Hoopla & Overdrive.

Just Watch also lets you search for movies & TV shows by title and see where you can (legally) watch them streaming, including labeling if they’re free, have ads, and listing prices for pay rentals & purchases. It won’t include those library services, but like Addall, it covers most of the big hitters.
