Hmm. Now that Border is an empty shell, it makes me want to open a bookstore here. Maybe “Books N Beads” my two favorite things right now. But I’d need a benefactor with deep pockets, and um more readers in this town of numbskulls.

I think the biggest downside is the browsing experience will be lost or at least “different”. Yes, Amazon tries to provide a browsing experience with their “look inside” program and trying to put books in front of you their massive computer system thinks you will like. But hardly the same as browsing the bookstore, and the serendipity of finding something perfect you didn’t know you were looking for.

Having been an avid buyer for years, I still have more unread books to get to (huge stacks of ‘em) as well as audio and ebooks. If I stopped buying any books, I’d still have a goodly inventory for a while. But I can’t stop! Besides, the book biz needs us to buy if they’re to stay in biz.

I’ll probably make a greater effort to stop at one of the top indies when I’m in their town like Vroman’s in Pasadena, the aforementioned Tattered Cover in Denver, or Book Soup in Hollywood. But I’d sure like to see every small downtown with an indie bookstore that thrives. That would be the BEST!

Well, you could register for a spot, and if you got it, you could come out and hang at my house!

So… for discussion, where do you (readers) buy books? The closing of Borders leaves my town without a bookstore for new books. (There are two small, used-book shops.) I’ll have to drive 20 minutes to Boulder to shop at B&N or the Boulder Bookstore (a big indie).

It will likely mean I will buy online more, and buy more ebooks. I wish Tattered Cover were closer. That’s a place I just love to hang out for the better part of a day. (It’s dangerous for my pocketbook though!)

Wow. What a cool video. I never knew how many steps were involved in making a book. And the automation of some of the machines is amazing. Thanks for posting.
