When I first learned about it I bought an eBook at Bookshop.org, which required me to install their app on my BOOX Note Air 3C. Descriptions of their eBook service say that “local bookstores” are the providers of these books, but that makes me wonder exactly how? I am skeptical that a small local book store as the means to provide eBooks, most likely they are still being provided by chains, though they may be smaller than Barnes and Nobel and Amazon.
