Well today was the last day to go into Borders and buy a book. They had a 40% to 50% sale of the entire book store. Of course you knew Boarders Books store was going out of business.
Yeah Boarders is going out of business... some say that Amazon killed this book store; that and the sales in electronic books. I still prefer to hold a book. I do see the good in having some type of electronic book because of the weight issues, if you are traveling or some where that is too cumbersome to carry a hard back book the e-book is the way to go.
Of course I do like audable books too. I don't own any at this point but I have listened to them from the library. I may go to Audible.com and sign up; however, I am not sure yet.
In any case I was not a Borders gal, but did go today so my husband, the "other" bookworm in the household could see if anything was left. Everything was pretty much picked over. They only had one real estate book on the shelf! While some business are dying...some are thriving. It takes a quick witted person these days to make a go of it.
If you see something that looks like it will pretty much be around a long time like electronic books than maybe just maybe you ought to jump on board.
Same with, if you see something that is working for the majority of us, it would behoove you to check it out. And maybe go with the flow to stay afloat!
So a si a si.... good luck to your owners in the next endeavor...
