We do not encourage you to buy from any of the companies on this page. Please do not start using them only because you want to support FSFE. But if you are already buying from them, here is a description how you can do this while supporting our work.

Bookzilla / libri.de

Bookzilla.de is a frontend made by the German based company freiheit.com for the Libri bookshop. You can order from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. If you are already buying online and use libri.de for this, you could switch to bookzilla. For each sold book on bookzilla 5% go to freiheit.com as a commission. Bookzilla donates 100% of the provision to us.

Amazon.(ca|com|co.uk|de|fr)

Please be aware of the controversies surrounding Amazon, especially regarding Amazon's position on software patents. We provide a plugin for GNU Icecat, Iceweasel, and Firefox you may install directly or using your system's package management if you're a Fedora user, the package is called mozilla-affiliatefox-fsfe. If this is installed, Amazon gives us around 5% provision for each sale. FSFE uses this money to work for Free Software and also to oppose software patents in Europe.

Amazon's terms of use clarify that we have to provide this exact wording on our website:

FSFE e.V. is a participant in the Amazon Europe S.à.r.l. Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.(ca|com|co.uk|de|fr)”.

  • Install this plugin (see links above)
  • If you view a product on amazon.* you will see an fsfe reference id in the URL.
  • If you buy something with the reference id in the URL FSFE receive about 5% percentage
