Another brick and mortar business, book stores, that’s slowly dying. One of my students last week gave me a copy of his hardback book and I didn’t know what to do with it because I’m not used to non digital books. 🙂 I can still read the book but it feels strange.

Bob,
Recently I read an article which said real books have outsold e-books this year. I was happy to read that. I know my library’s circulation is up every year. I save e-books for vacations.

Here’s a good article about ebooks and paper books. I think the ebook juggernaut is just reached a temporary pause, but who knows. If I was so smart about the future I wouldn’t be still working. 🙂

Bob,
That was the article I had read. I find something so substantial about holding a book in my hand. E-books do not give me the same sort of satisfaction.

Amazon is planning to open several brick and mortar bookstores and convenience grocery stores. (Too many links to choose just one to share). What goes around comes around, I guess.

im6,
I’ll be glad for a brick and mortar store. I do love to browse and I don’t love browsing on the net.

minicapt,
I don’t think I have ever bought so many gifts in one store.
I am reminded of Eoise who filled her horse-drawn carriage with gifts from New York department stores.
The description of the picture using commissionaire told me it was here. I checked the keywords and found 1946 England.
