Stores really can't compete. Anyone who romanticizes them is just being a hipster

Nothing will ever compete with the tangibility or holding a book in your hand before deciding to purchase it.
Amazon may be more convenient but so is McDonald’s.

I want to see uppity booksellers crushed and working in Amazon fulfillment centers, their stores gutted and turned into vape shops.

good answer, gives a personal subjective reason as well as a great comparison - well presented argument as well as an opinion

fuckin makes me wanna hack into this site and delete it all

WHO THE FUCK lets 10yos on this site..? always filling it with garbage replies and dumb not-even-jokes.. Not even joking, these replies are the ones that make me want to leave this site the most.. Lit is turning into a cesspool of people repeating same shit, completely brainless and unoriginal. Unless you culminate your own group of friends who also read, you are doomed to fuck with these halfwits.

Why would anyone buy books, except falling for the "support an author" spook, when libgen exists?

Nothing can compete with opening a pdf, a mobi, and an epub of the same work, and comparing the OCR between then.

I know several antiquity/bookstores where you can get the most amazing reads, from interior design, anthropology, philosophy, history, illustrations, online stores cant compete with that.
I mean, where else do I get a book about German exhibitions on degenerate art, with all the painting/sculptures, an original flyer and Hitlers speech for the opening?

It's all just information. Only the rich would waste their money collecting books.
