Square has made it super convenient for me as a published author to generate sales without traditional booksellers, and even Amazon. Local bookstores will have consignments, where total sales come through a check made after a period of a few months. The same thing goes for the Global Retail Market, where I'm not even allowed to touch my profits until a certain total sales point has been reached. For online and traditional brick & mortar stores, the process of selling my book becomes almost pointless, especially for someone trying to make it in the niche indie market. With Square, it is the complete opposite. I can order a set of my books fresh off the printer, delivered in about a week, and have sales from local venues, all within a week or two time-frame. Most of my sales have been by selling signed copies at reading events, art exhibits/festivals, and just talking to people about my book at creative hotspots like the Venice Boardwalk. Its all so immediate, and truly a source of pride for me as both writer and bookseller of my own work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Currently, there seems to be no point to most of their products, as the card reader they give for free works out just fine. The chip reader and apple pay reader models are a bit pricey, so I don't see a point in using them as everyone who has apple pay or a chip will likely have a workable card (or just cash).
