Books Becoming Extinct? - Page 5

Book stores disappearing really saddens me. I love going into and browsing all their sections. Sitting down and relaxing while reading part of a book I will purchase. That environment is just so comfortable and feels like home. I know that shopping online is cheaper and more convenient but it loses so much of the experience. Convenience is winning out and I understand that.

I still like to go into a book store and walk through the books looking at what is fresh out and to see if anything catches my interest. I do not by books anymore as I read all on my e-reader. So when I find the books I like I will go home and then buy them on line. To see that some book stores are still very active now I feel it will be a few years yet before they go away.

I completely understand that it's tragic the stores are disappearing. I love the book store atmosphere, especially when they have a little cafe of sitting area. The problem is that I spend hours there but never bye anything. I'm a freelance musician, so my income is minimal as is. I can't afford to spend 10 dollars extra on a book just to support a store. In this regard, I think that book stores need to work WITH online retailers to some degree. Libraries offer many of the same services, but something about them doesn't feel the same.

The library does have an atmosphere that is lacking. I think that is because most people going into bookstores are readers. With libraries that isn't true. Most go into libraries to use the computers. At least that is the case in my area.
