The fate of bookstores
#27
RE: The fate of bookstores
I think ultimately books will one day go the way of the do do.

If we think about costs of producing a book vis that of an online book through a kindle or whatever, then really, the logical option from a financial perspective is to produce the online format.

Also, less trees being cut down = good for everyone!

I'm still sad about the dwindling popularity of hard copy books. But as we evolve socially and technologically, I think some things will just disappear. I just hope reading levels don't drop as a result!
