Also: For some of us, it’s a matter of accessibility. I have visual processing issues—similar to dyslexia—due to multiple sclerosis. It’s taken a few things from me, including the ability to read and enjoy most print books. I need the black background, large white text in dyslexic font, left (not justified) alignment, etc. I support indie bookstores to the extent I can—I was an indie bookseller before getting furloughed in 2020—and I’m not saying they’re at fault, but the vast majority of their stock is inaccessible to me
I'd love to shout out my local indie (and previous workplace), Best of Books, in Edmond, OK. They love partnering with authors for events and signings, pre-order campaigns, and for those in KidLit--they are the go-to in scheduling school visits!

This is a great point. Thank you for sharing it, Liz!
I wholeheartedly agree with Cathy!
