This is a generic format but you're right that it is confusing to keep in.

Xigxag is mentioned, but you're right that I forgot to include BookBeat. The others are US based apps but support your local library/bookstore

It means they share their profits with others. In this case, they enable you to support nearby libraries and facilitate the process.

Thanks for this. I spend so much time on the content from guide to guide that I forget how someone reading it for the first time might interpret it.

Will update the guide and post it to !PurchaseWithPurpose@lemmy.world

Thanks for the suggestion! Will add it to the next version of the guide.

Profit Share is good! It means they are sharing in the revenue. In this case, it is with your local libraries or bookstore!

Another shoutout to the "Library Extension". It will help you find alternatives should Storytel not have the option you want.

If someone wants to transcribe these guides, then I am more than happy to include them!

This is the first version of this guide, so please share any feedback, and I'll include it in the next version.

And let me know if I missed any Canadian or Canadian adjacent companies :)

This is the first version of this guide, so please share any feedback, and I'll include it in the next version.

Note: I include the services that directly support local libraries and/or are non-profit organizations

It is mentioned in the deep dive :) https://lemmy.world/post/27983334

Waterfox was bought out by an advertising company, but they became independent again.
