I boycotted Foyle's for years because they were anti-union. Whether that's changed now, I couldn't say.
Touch wood, I've never had a problem with Amazon. I understand your misgivings with them, but I go where I get good service, and Amazon have always been fine (touch wood). I'm of the view that independent doesn't equate with good necessarily - I don't shop in the one indie bookshop where I live because the woman who owns it is so objectionable. And she's alienated a lot of people like me who buy loads of books!
My Kindle was one of my best purchases - I use it constantly.
