"I seriously don't understand why people don't just like reading that much"
Although the article mentions Amazon, it doesn't bother to even entertain the possibility that a bricks & mortar bookstore is unnecessary. Furthermore, I find browsing for books on Amazon to be a much better experience than standing around bookstore shelves. Clearly, some people have a strong emotional attachment to bookstores, but their apparent grief seems over the top.
- noodle 17y agoi disagree (but still upvoted you from 0). there are strengths and weaknesses for both types of stores. there are things you can do in a brick and mortar bookstore that you just simply can't do in amazon, and vice versa.
- joubert 17y agoI love going to author events at book stores. Recently saw Dawkins at the Tribeca B&N. Sometimes I also like paging thru mags.
