More info on their About page. But essentially, they take a small cut to cover operating expenses, and the rest of the profit from the book sale goes to whatever local bookshop you choose, as long as it's participating.

They also operate in the UK here.

They appear to be pretty legit, though one downside I've read is returns are more clumsy than other storefronts.

If you're in the UK, hive.co.uk does a similar thing too.

What a terrible search though. I can’t filter and it returns results that don’t even match what I wrote.

Yeah not the best for sure. It seems to work okay-ish if it's something common and in stock, but it does produce some funky results.
