My favorite chain of book stores, Borders, has gone bankrupt (oh how will I go on!). So on Friday i went to one of the stores that was closing and bought a few books that were on sale. But the day was bittersweet. On one hand I got some awesome books, but on the other the store was closing. And I know who is to blame!
Kindle!
Yes, I blame the Kindle and other electronic readers for book store closings. However there is something you can't get when you use a Kindle and that's the feel of the book in your hand and the smell of the paper early in the morning. And I am pretty sure that if you use that for too long you could have eye damage, like sitting too close to the TV. Well that's all I have to say on the matter!
Maggie :(
Definitely agree. This is a sign! I love to go to second hand book stores, you never know what you'll find... :)
ReplyDeleteHello Maggie! Missed you writing! So you will know, Borders is not going out of business. The bakrupcy they are filing is debt reorganization, and though some stores are closing, you can still order online! TC Don
