As more and more students are relying on Amazon and our online retailers to support their higher
education materials and book selection, Bookstores are changing what they are selling and partnering

  1. Even though it is super convenient to have books on our devices, there really is no replacement for the feel of reading an actual book. It reminds me of the way you can order electronically in a restaurant now. It may save money, it may be convenient, but it lacks the "personal touch".

  3. NO! I hope not! I love going into bookstores and looking physically through the books. It will sadden me if there were no more book stores. Book stores bring people together, it's a place to relax, and a place to begin the journey of adventure in knowledge........
