No substantial direct effect on my earnings, no -- I get a percentage of the price, which varies slightly depending on whether it's being sold at a discount or what have you, but ultimately the difference there is quite small. Buying from an actual store, though, as opposed to online, helps ensure that they'll continue stocking my books there . . . which has a knock-on benefit of making it more likely that somebody browsing the shelves will see my work and pick it up. Which is why I usually say that buying from a physical store is better for authors than online purchases.
