You could always do like Cory Doctorow and not allow your work on Ama$on in print or audio or ebook formats....

I'm an indie bookstore owner and honesty the margins for me are pretty close. So with my limited inventory if I don't have it in stock I send people to our bookshop.org page. We also get dividends 2 times a year for profit sharing. It's really been great for us. So please shop on bookshop.org

Love that beautiful space. Such a great building. Also really enjoy Cory Doctorow's books.

We love those as well. It's also funny because the Jack and Annie dynamic is totally my kids. Lol. Older cautious, quiet son and adventurous talkative younger sister.

The publisher determines the DRM status not the platform but those who are DRM free are supported to allow for transfer off platform.
The bookshop platform will not decide to remove you access after purchase which is something @mazon frequently does when you cancel you membership.

When you purchase the ebook you are buying it not leasing it. You have rights to download. Kindle can remove items from your library at will for books purchased on @mazon. Also your money doesn't go to a mega corporation it is distributed to the author and the local store you choose to support.

I am an affiliate as well for my indie bookstore pop-ups. Love the community of bookselling.
It definitely seems like you have a plan. Best wishes!
