I think the only books I’ve bought at Costco were gifts 10+ years ago. I haven’t bought a printed book in years.
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.
Yeah, I just winnowed down the collection in the basement last summer. Very difficult to get the grandchildren to read anything that isn’t a school book (and there aren’t that many any more), and my vision is to the point where most of my reading is on a larger computer screen, like right now.
I’ll never buy anything but printed books.
When/if the grid goes down, people with books will be at a comfortable advantage. No batteries required.
If they were selling, COSTCO would continue to stock them.
I buy printed books, but I get them at used book stores, either bricks and mortar or online. I love the smell of them when I open them to read.
