I think the only books I’ve bought at Costco were gifts 10+ years ago. I haven’t bought a printed book in years.

I miss physical books but moving and storing the. Is a pain.

[Angelino97]

I’ve never been in a CostCo. I don’t suppose they have a large book selection. Aren’t most books sold online?

The book industry is facing economic headwinds as people migrate to online sources.

For the past 8 years I have bought at least 20 books ON AMAZON KINDLE. Saves a lot of space at home.

Besides, most of the books on print that I want to read are available at our library system.

My local Costco would take conservative books and put the price tags over the faces of the writers. Happened ALL THE TIME so I assumed it was store policy.

When I tag-a-long with my wife at Costco, I send my time in two areas:

Wine section - They have great prices

Book section -- I like to look for books by people like Michelle, or Hillary or others and then cover them up with other books.

Yeah, I know, pretty petty, but what the heck.

Costco? Meh. When archive.org is down, I remember Fahrenheit 451.

I prefer real, physical books over Kindle books. I do have a lot of Kindle ebooks, but I also have a lot of real books. I just prefer having real pages to turn. Yes, they take up more room. I do buy a lot of real books at Costco, sometimes for myself and sometimes as gifts. I understand why they are making this move, but I’m sad to see it.

I bought a Costco membership two years ago. Did not see any benefit from them, and their prices for just about everything is higher than what I can get from Wal-mart or Target and other local retailers. The only benefit I got from Costco was the lower-priced gas, but then, it amounted to just a few dollars savings for a year. Last month,I dropped my membership. Costco did offer higher pay than Wal-mart of Target, but that advantage has disappeared in the last few years with the higher-wage demands of recent years. But, the higher wages also meant higher prices for their goods, therefore, it was not for me.

A mind is a terrible thing.

[Leaning Right]

Drat! And I was hoping Costco would be carrying my latest book. Here’s the front cover:

Catchy title, don’t you think?

[bigbob]

I’ve never watched an episode of Seinfeld or set foot in a Costco. Don’t plan to do either.

I have a mountain of the printed word. My wife and I made a deal, there is NO LIMIT to the amount of books we can have, if you want the book, buy the book. New, used it doesn't matter, books are knowledge, entertainment, advice, instruction...a conversation between you and the author.

Books are a a refuge, a diversion, and an escape.

I want to die surrounded by my friends, family and my books.

[Red Badger]

Where will we get our copies of Fahrenheit 451 now?...............

Technology is changing everything, businesses need to adapt or perish.

Nothing like a book in my hand to rerad as I sit in my recliner. I have a whole library, and while I do use online for gathering information when working on my Bible commentaries, there is nothing like reading a book as I sit back listening to a little classical music.

I have some books that date back to the early 1800s, and I still pull them out to read. The image below is just the books around my desk. I have many more on bookshelves behind me from where I took the picture.

The magazine racks at the grocery store have little selection.
