If you haven't seen this article yet, it's worth a read. Depressing yes, but lays out how Amazon has influenced publishing in clear terms. I knew they were a threat to brick and mortar booksellers, we all know that, but I didn't realize to what degree.
On a side note, the article says there are a mere 1500 independent booksellers left in this country. So finite! That just makes me want to cry.
That IS sad (about the 1500).'
ReplyDeleteOne thing the article didn't mention is that B&N was a big part of that.
Thanks for posting this!
Right, it's certainly not all Amazon's fault.
