There are currently 5 Joomla! Amazon bookstores in the following countries:
These bookstores are one of the ways that OpenSourceMatters generates income to fund the Joomla Project: from providing servers to host our sites, purchasing marketing materials such as banners and brochures, promoting Joomla at Expos, conferences and Joomla Day events as well as to provide accounting, legal and administrative services.
Depending on the volume of books and other merchandise sold from each of the Joomla Amazon bookstores determines the commission received. Currently, it is anywhere from 4% to 6.5%. Our United States bookstore averages 6.5%.
The Joomla Project receives a commission on all merchandise purchased though our bookstores, not only the purchase of Joomla books. This includes all other books, as well as music and other merchandise. Most people tend to purchase more than one item to save on shipping costs.
So the next time that you are planning to purchase a book or music, etc... please purchase it in one of the Joomla! Amazon Bookstores! Every little bit helps in generating the necessary income to fund the Joomla! Project.
