Bookshops Closing

[bykimbo]

WOW!!...looked at the free books and noticed Lear's Book of Nonsense...I was going to use that title for my book...I can only write nonsense

Haha, just "bought" that one myself. And the cookery history.

I've always liked nonsense and comic verse (hate poncey poetry). I doubt this qualifies me as a "great mind".

I buy second hand or use the library. I'd been looking online for a book from the 1970's - priced from £8 upwards - then checked at my local library. They got me a copy from another branch for the grand sum of 60p!

The Kindle is £89...so I think I'll give it a miss for another year and see if I get rich by then..lol

You can get a FREE Kindle for your PC or Laptop. (there are also free ones for Macs, iPads & iPhones) This is a software program that works the same as a Kindle but on your PC.

If you later decide to buy a real Kindle you can link it to your PC so all your books will be available on both

The link is next to the kindle advert on the front page of Amazon

What i dont understand is why some Kindle books cost more than the delivered Paperback price on Amazon.

this should show top100 free and top 100 best sellers ...

Oops, no ecommerce links here! That's why I put it on facebook.

Getting back to the Original Topic

Bill - surely you are joking! (or boasting)
Everyone has known for years that book shops are closing - the big chains in the USA have all closed.
Have you only just found out ?

I love books
But with the price of second hand books, it is a wonder the shops can exist.

But there will always be a market for classics and good books eg I love history books.

But the internet has changed many industries
Newspapers
Books
Music

And trends come and go.
I mean look at the types of shops we have had in our small shopping centres

Fish And Chips
Now Chinese (or Indian)
Video Stores - gone
Hot Bread shops - gone
Two Dollar Shops - everywhere.
