If Amazon have their own brand of art supplies that help people out who are short on money, can't get to the shops because of the pandemic, etc, then is there any need to complain? They are just very good at providing a service so people can get hold of items which would be hard to come by otherwise. For over a year now, I have been confined to my small village and none of the shops stock a good range of art supplies

and stationary, at least not that which would be helpful to an artist. The company is a life line for people who are vulnerable.

I detest Amazon for how they exploit their workers and small businesses, but I admit they're a life-saver for a lot of things, namely books like you said. It seems like physical stores only stock "safe" mainstream books, not the things I actually like to read. That and as a male that wears a lot of pink, Amazon is pretty much the only place I can find clothing I actually like.

It's been years since I found a decent bookshop. The good independent ones have either closed, or are too far away. As for high street chains, the only /real/ bookshop that I've been in has been Blackwells in Oxford. The local library I find has pretty much either dumbed down its collection, has damaged books in it (seriously, I stopped checking books out because people had torn pages out of them so you couldn't read

them properly) or they don't have what I want. Wasn't always that way but the last time I looked in the zoology section, the books there should have been in the children's section, not the adults!
