We talked politics, poetry, and bookstore cats; the Raven has two\u2014Dashiell and Ngaio, the store\u2019s undisputed social media stars. When Caine\u2019s tweetstorm about how Amazon\u2019s pricing screws indie bookstores went viral, he started playing closer attention to the store\u2019s social media, and realized that it could be used in service of politics as well as adorable cats. Since being picked up for distribution by local Portland publisher Microcosm, How to Resist Amazon and Why has sold more than 5,000 copies, even though Amazon has quit selling it after Caine criticized them in an article in the NYT.
