It's Very Nice, But Only Slightly Delaying The Inevitable
-
It's nice that author James Patterson is giving away $1 million of his own money to independent bookstores as a show of support to the beleaguered industry. The thing is, that's not enough. And as someone who used to go to bookstores at least twice a week and who practically never sets foot in one now, I'm sad to say, it's pretty much over. When you can buy books with the click of a button and they get delivered to your iPad in seconds, there's no need for a bookstore, independent or chain. (AP via WTSP-TV/St. Petersburg-Tampa)
