Because Amazon takes months to pay authors. They sit on our money longer than, I believe, any other platform. If the book is on Itch or DriveThruRPG, get it there - we can cash out on those platforms any time. Direct from the author is also a good option. But failing that, anyone but Amazon.

Trump’s ballroom construction caused an air traffic control error that nearly led to a jet colliding with the helicopter carrying him. He almost got killed by his own hubris.
