I love reading books. And by books, I mean the physical, bound kind. The ones you can actually hold in your hand and turn the pages. My favorite place to find a good book is at the bookstore. But these days that has become a much harder thing to do.
With more modern technology like e-readers, tablets and smart phones being used to download books, the brick and mortar bookstores have become almost obsolete. Borders and Walden books are gone already, and many Barnes and Noble stores have also closed. But I miss these stores. Large buildings with aisles and aisles of every type of book you can imagine.
I’m not against using an e-reader and I actually have downloaded several e-books myself. But there is no substitution for being able to turn the pages as you fall into the story of the book, and it’s definitely easier on our eyes as well!
It seems that being able to visit the local bookstore, sit down on a chair and read a chapter or two is a thing of the past. It saddens me to see it all go, and I explain why I think it’s a shame that one day, it will be an impossible task to stop by your local bookstore.
Listen in on this episode as I discuss this and leave a comment about how you feel. Am I over-reacting, or do you agree that saying bye bye to bookstores will be a sad day for us all? Let me know!
