Book wholesale is now not needed, they are parasites. Publishers should ship direct to bookshops for paper and sell ebooks from their own sites without DRM.
Bookshop.org is not the solution to Amazon's dominance.

Consumers don't want to go directly to the Publishers sites, heck most consumers can't even tell you who the publisher is for the books they read.
Very few news stands, grocery stores and the like want to deal with publishers, they just want someone to stock the shelves with the current set of best sellers and whatever the casual book buying public might want.
