I was witness recently to a lively conversation between
an independent bookstore owner and a NYT best - selling author as they railed against Amazon and the «pro-Amazon» DoJ (yes!)
It is very difficult financially to remain
an independent bookstore owner.
Most of
the independent bookstore owners that I know of aren't getting rich.
They do worry what the effect will be on
the independent bookstore owners and, «Will there still be a bookstore in my town if I go buy something online?»
