For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

not applicable because you can definitely buy this book elsewhere. amazon marketplace is escapable, AWS is not
You can, but why would they want to decrease visibility and accessibility if they are trying to spread a message? Especially if they are trying to spread the message to people who still use Amazon as opposed to the people who don't.
oh no, the publisher putting it on Amazon is fine, but a consumer actually buying it through amazon would be absurd
I mean, they havent read the book yet they dont know why :P
I feel like this is exactly the right place for the writer to sell in order to cast the widest net, ironically. I recently heard that at least 60% of Americans have an Amazon Prime subscription.
Ah, I see where you are coming from.
Meet the people where they are.
the capitalist will sell you to rope with which to hang him
I mean... the book wants to convince people whi buy on Amazon so technically it's just where it needs to be
I used Amazon to destroy Amazon
