不要使用Amazon的理由
If you want to order a book (or something else), don't buy it from Amazon. Amazon harms its customers, as well as workers, the national treasury, and many others that it affects
如果你想要买书或者其他什么东西，不要在Amazon上买，Amazon在很多方面伤害它的顾客以及它的雇员
Here's a good (though long) overview of why Amazon's overall activity is harmful to society overall.
这里有个不错的概述（尽管比较长）说明了Amazon的行为是如何全面的伤害了社会
This page lists alternatives to Amazon for buying various kinds of products. These sites may share some of Amazon's unethical practices: identifying each custoimer and requiring per to run nonfree software (JavaSccript code sent to the browser). I refuse to do those things, so I do not use use any of those sites. But they may not be evil in some of the ways that Amazon is. 这个页面列举了可以买各种产品的Amazon的替代品。这些网站也有类似Amazon的不道德的地方：需要进行身份认证还有就是需要运行非自由的软件(浏览器需要运行Javascript代码）。我拒绝做这些事情，所以我也不会使用上述任何一个网站。但是它们比起Amazon还是稍微好一点
To avoid being the victim of digital injustice, buy from a physical store, paying cash, anonymously. That is what I do. 为了避免隐私受到侵害，在实体店购物，用现金，匿名，这是我用的方式。 For videos, you can get a DVD. It may have DRM (always an injustice in itself), but at least there is free software to break the DRM on DVDs. However, it is morally better to get a non-oppressive copy through sharing. 你可以用DVD看影像，它可能会有DRM（它本身就是不公正的），但是至少有自由软件可以破解DVD上的DRM.但是要是分享可以自由拷贝的影像资料，那么内心道德上会更容易接受一点
For a printed book, order it directly from the publisher or through a local book store. A local independent book store lets me pay cash in advance to order a book, and not identify myself. 可以直接从出版商或者当地书店购买纸质书。在当地的独立书店，我可以直接用现金预定而且不需要自证身份
If you want to use a URL to identify a book, please don't use an Amazon page! Doing so promotes Amazon. 如果你想要使用一个指向纸质书的URL,请不要指向Amazon页面！这对Amazon是有帮助的
Here are other specific reasons — plenty of them.
其实也有很多其他方面的原因
anticompetitive
反竞争
If you do internet purchases, making a point of not buying through Amazon is a way you can personally push back.

If it is going to be a monopoly, it should be regulated like other monopolies. Or perhaps more.
Amazon has so much market share that its sheer size distorts the market.
Amazon占有很多的市场份额以至于扰乱了市场
We should not allow a company to have a share over around 10% of any market. If in a certain field a single dominant company is beneficial for society, that means it is a natural monopoly, and should be served by a regulated utility.
我们不应该允许一个公司占有任何市场份额的10%以上

Amazon试图诱骗我注册Prime服务
Amazon offered a "30-day free trial", and started paid subscriptions automatically at the end of it.

这很明显是欺骗顾客——不管有多少公司是这样做的，都不能改变这是错误的事实

Amazon's on-line music "sales" have some of the same problems as the ebooks: users are required to identify themselves and sign a contract that denies them the freedoms they would have with a CD.
Amazon网上销售的音乐也有跟电子书同样的问题：用户需要自证身份还要签署一份合约
The Amazon Swindle has a back door that can erase books. We found out about this when Amazon remotely erased thousands of copies of 1984. In response to criticism, Amazon promised it would never do this again unless ordered to by the state, which I find not very comforting.
Amazon Swindle有可以删除电子书的后门。Amazon远程删除了数千份1984电子书的拷贝，我们才发现这一点。为了回应批评，Amazon保证它以后不会这样做了，除非有政府的命令，我感觉这样的回应不能让人信服
Amazon did not keep that promise. In 2012 it wiped a user's Kindle and deleted her account, then offered her kafkaesque "explanations".

The Swindle has a universal back door through which that Amazon can forcibly change the software. This is called "auto-update". It puts the user helplessly at Amazon's mercy.
Swindle有一个通用的后门，Amazon可以通过它来强行更改软件。这个后门就叫做“自动升级”，它让无助的用户被Amazon戏耍
Amazon's book recommendations are not based honestly on algorithms that try to figure out what users might like. Publishers pay to have their books promoted this way.

Amazon会租纸质书给学生，但是前提就是不要把书带到本州以外的地方
Amazon "sold" someone Disney Christmas videos (via remote access, not a local copy); subsequently Amazon, at Disney's command, cut off access for Christmas. This demonstrates why we should not trust remote hosting for copies of published works. Insist on having your own copy which is yours.
Amazon出售了一些迪士尼的圣诞影片给消费者（通过远程访问，而不是本地拷贝）;随后Amazon就在迪士尼的指令下，切断了消费者访问影片的途径。这也说明了我们不应该相信存放在云端的作品拷贝，你应该坚持拥有你自己的本地拷贝
Amazon's service, that offers you an MP3 for CDs you bought there, respects your rights less than ripping the CDs yourself.

Amazon threatens to cut off customers if they return things more than occasionally. Amazon's customers nominally have the right to return merchandise — unless they exercise that right.
Amazon威胁要关闭用户的账号如果他们经常退货的话。Amazon的顾客名义上有退货的权力——但是实际操作起来就不是那么回事了
I have never bought anything from Amazon. And I never will. Amazon knows my name because a friend, believing this was helpful, decided to get something for me and told Amazon to send it to my address, an act which made me feel violated. I hope nothing like that will ever happen again.
我从来不在Amazon上面买东西，以后也不会。Amazon从我的一个朋友那里知道了我的名字，他出于好心在Amazon上买了一些东西想要送给我，让Amazon送到我的地址所在处，这种行为让我感到被冒犯。我希望以后不要再发生这样的事情

A voice command system that is safe for its owner would be one that runs only free software, and does the whole job locally, communicating with other sites only when asked to. With the software inside free, the owner of this device would truly own it.
声响设备只有在运行自由软件的时候，才是安全的，所有的工作都在本地完成，只有在用户要求的时候，它才能和外界通信。运行的软件是自由的，那么设备的所有者才是真正拥有了它
The Amazon Echo seems to have a universal back door, which means that Amazon could convert it into full-time listening device at any time.
Amazon Echo看起来存在一个通用后门，这也就意味着Amazon可以随时让其变成全天候的监听设备
Since Amazon requires customers to identify themselves, it knows what each one has bought. That in itself is unacceptable, especially for books. I pay for books with cash only, and do not identify myself to any bookseller that takes note of which books I bought.
因为Amazon要求消费者自证身份，它对每个人买的什么东西都一清二楚。这是不可接受的，尤其对电子书而言。我买书只付现金，也不需要向任何书商自证身份

How to stop it? That's easy. First, don't buy from Amazon. Second, ask your friends not to give Amazon your name, address, or anything else. If that has already happened, that doesn't mean you have to let it happen again!
怎么阻止它，也很简单。首先，不要在Amazon上购物。第二，告诉你的朋友不要把你的名字、地址、还有其他信息告诉Amazon.如果这已经发生了，这并不意味你可以让它再次发生
