Nothing is better than browsing the shelves and tables at a bookstore, but am I holding onto a naive notion? Will bookstores become obsolete now that ebooks have cannibalized the market?
Don't try to save indie bookstores. I once tried to save my motorcycle from falling over -- broke my leg in three places. I once tried to save the US Government from debts and deficits and broke my bank account (did write an unpublished book about it though).
