BookStand vs Amazon
Amazon is a channel. BookStand is your store.
You don't own the customer
They remember the blue button. Not you. On BookStand the thank-you and access flow are yours.
Fees + account risk
Referral fees and suspension anxiety are features of their platform, not bugs. Your stand doesn't get 'reviewed' into oblivion overnight.
Used books are a different gauntlet
Seller central complexity for condition and shipping. BookStand: grade, list, ship or meetup.
Digital file leakage culture
We bias to signed reader delivery so your ebook isn't a Telegram pack by dinner.
Side by side
The verdict
Keep Amazon as a channel if it prints money. Don't let it be your only bookstore. Open a stand you control.
