Buy indie, or just borrow.

When you find a book in Viraldico, the buy button points to Bookshop.org, which supports independent bookstores, and to Libro.fm for audiobooks, which does the same for independent audiobook sellers. We never link to Amazon. Not as a default, not as an option.

Why no Amazon

Amazon's links pay less and pull readers away from the independent bookshops and libraries we're built to support. Pointing you there would undercut the whole point of Viraldico, so we don't. This is a permanent decision, not a setting we're A/B testing.

Honest buttons

For audiobooks, Libro.fm tells us whether a title is actually available, so the button only appears when it is. For print, Bookshop doesn't offer that signal, so we show a "Find it on Bookshop.org" link that runs a search. It's always a real, working link, never a dead end and never an affiliate trick.

Or borrow it

The cheapest copy is the one you already pay for with your taxes. If your library is on Viraldico, you can check whether a book is on the shelf before you buy anything at all.
