I have a book published by Kindle Direct Publishing. Most of my sales are to bookstores and up until now I have been ordering books (author copies) from KDP then shipping them to bookstores myself. Is it considered bad form (from the bookstore's point of view) to have the books shipped direct from KDP? To be specific, books shipped from KDP come in Amazon-branded boxes and I know many stores have a rather poor opinion of Amazon. Would having my books arrive in Amazon-branded boxes reflect poorly on me (and potentially harm sales)?
