Would you consider buying books directly from an author's website?

Bookish Question #302 | Would you buy books directly from an author’s website?

I’d consider it.

I haven’t bought directly from an author’s website yet, but it’s not something I’m opposed to. It’s more that I tend to find new books either from author newsletters or through Amazon, which means I tend to click through from the newsletter and buy from Amazon.

Many of the authors I read have their books enrolled in Kindle Unlimited, which means the authors aren’t permitted to offer their ebooks for sale anywhere except on Amazon … which means their books aren’t available on their websites.

So while I’d consider buying a book from an author’s website, I haven’t. At least, not yet.

What about you? Do you (or would you) buy books directly from an author’s website?
