Being willing to buy pbooks online won't get you much if Amazon isn't stocking them. Their announced position is thst as non-essential products ship tbey won't be replaced in the warehouses.

If Amazon isn't stocking them, I assume other online retailers will. From the article, there is a picture of the B&M of Strand; checking their website, they do online pbook sales. Although I do like Amazon, if I was buying pbooks and Amazon didn't stock them, I would try somewhere else.
Of course if the publishers aren't shipping, there will be a problem.
