That option thingy to buy books?

In summary, there was a feature in PF where purchasing books would give a portion of the expenses to PF. It may still exist, but hasn't been advertised in years. Some users have reported that the link for this feature no longer works.

A while ago, there was a little thing in PF that allowed you to buy books and a fraction of your expanses would go to PF. Does that thing still exists? I can't find it.

Some people also have concerns about the environmental impact of digital books versus physical books.
