To avoid charging a fee, at the very last screen after you hit Pay, leave the “Turn on for purchases” toggle OFF. That is the personal-payment option similar to Paypal's “Friends & Family.” You do not need to add Joanne as a Venmo friend (but you can!)

📚The Book: The Everything Store-Jeff Bezos and Age of Amazon
Genre: Nonfiction

Amazon.com started off delivering books through the mail. But its visionary founder, Jeff Bezos, wasn't content with being a bookseller. He wanted Amazon to become the everything store, offering limitless selection and seductive convenience at disruptively low prices. To do so, he developed a corporate culture of relentless ambition and secrecy that's never been cracked. Until now. Brad Stone enjoyed unprecedented access to current and former Amazon employees and Bezos family members, giving readers the first in-depth, fly-on-the-wall account of life at Amazon. Compared to tech's other elite innovators -- Jobs, Gates, Zuckerberg -- Bezos is a private man. But he stands out for his restless pursuit of new markets, leading Amazon into risky new ventures like the Kindle and cloud computing, and transforming retail in the same way Henry Ford revolutionized manufacturing.
