Wow another book store closing . Books a million in Ocala. Was up there few days ago and told they are closing. I hope the days of books are not disappearing. I prefer a book to a kindle anytime. I loved that store and would often go up there as they carried different books from Barnes and Noble. If they get rid of books, I quit reading and I LOVE to read

I LOVE my Kindle PaperWhite!
Gee, what happened to all the Video stores and (going way back) Record stores that used to be on every corner?

Exactly right.... PROGRESS is the answer.

Watch what your Kids/Grandkids are using or wanting. That is where successful industries will be innovating.

Now....back to my iPad...

There is Nothing like holding a real book, turning the pages, underlining what you like, making notes, etc.. The feel of the book, the smell, etc....NOTHING BEATS IT. I'm sure many agree they still prefer a book. And I have so many that are authographed by the authors!! Nothing beats my den with my book shelf filled with great reads. I love being surrounded by my books. Am I alone out here?

Such a shame! I have always liked this book store, and spent many $$$$$ over the years. In my town, Poole, I think we have 3 book stores, one is ok, the others just sell rubish. I like crime books, James W. Hall etc, but can not buy over here.

Thank you for the info!!

Book stores and marginal malls all across the country are closing. On-line purchasing keeps on growing---our kids hardly shop anywhere else. I've heard of schools without books! Change Change Change! It's everywhere!
