Off topic but, why would anyone want to buy audiobooks via their local bookstore? I haven't seen this anywhere else: when is it something desirable to ADD a middleman rather than removing them?
- raz32dust 6y agoIt's not that anyone wants to buy books at a local bookstore, but that people don't want to be forced to buy things from just one place. The core issue here is that exclusivity further strengthens monopoly, and that, I think, is the fundamental gripe.

- Nabati 6y agoIn case of Libro, you have both Libro and the bookstore as middle men. In the Amazon case, you only have Amazon.
- quickthrower2 6y agoDo people think in terms of "middlemen" when buying stuff. I don't think so, latte sippers.
