You're not the demographic. They will die soon unless they adapt.
They're for:
1. non-tech savvy people who read
2. people who read who like to get out of the house
3. People who like in-person advice on what to read
4. People who like to cosy up in a cafe and read a bit before buying.
etc...Blockbuster/HMV/Tower Records etc are all dying now, as the generation that used them got tech savvy and technology pushed them out the way.
Books will last a bit longer as they still have a generation that hasn't gone techy yet.
My mum used to love going to our small bookshops but I got her a Kindle and over the past year she's started to learn how to use it. It's a shame in some ways that these small independent places are getting killed but their USP is becoming less and less relevant.
They stay in business because they have a lot of money. They're certainly not thriving though.
- Only tech savy people buy on Amazon? Blockbuster/HMV/Towe... Records are already 99% gone. There's lots of B&N.fredddddd
