People are transitioning to e-books very, very quickly.
That’s the next (actually, current) boom.
How do you read e-books when the power is off? You can’t (at least, not for long). Regular books don’t have to be downloaded from some central source, for which you have to have an internet connection and a credit card. I like the old-style books, which no one controls for me or knows about. They’re my steadfast friends.
E-books aren’t that big, and for Border’s troubles don’t even rate. This company has been on the death list for 5 or 6 years, they mismanaged themselves and misread market changes a long time ago and haven’t been able to correct.
A word to the wise.
Try to return a wrong download from Amazon, due to a bad link. If you can't double check the title image save yourself the aggravation!
