Excellent. Thanks Fenia! Already sent to some friends who think that with the ebook the paper era is coming to an end. Does anyone share the same view? Should librarians start looking for another job?
I don't think librarians should look for another job, but they should specialize... great bookstores are always nice to visit. In plus, some books, we just want them in paper, printers like Taschen are growing crazy in the last years... there's room for quality in paper, there's less room for generic bestsellers... in my opinion...
I like my ebook; I like how I can travel light and how helpful is the dictionary that comes with it, and I love to put the text bigger if I feel my eyes tired. However, I love to browse in a bookstore and buy a book whose cover has caught my eye. I like to look at my books, re-read them, and lend them to friends. I have talked to many people that feel somehow the same and I believe there are many more. So I think the business is getting tougher, but I agree that with specialization and new store models that not only sell books but the whole reading experience, there will be always clients/lovers for the classic paper book.
Hilarious! And so appropriate!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pity our no Spanish-speaking members cannot enjoy it.

ReplyDeleteI fully agree with Rocio. Less room for generic bestsellers...they take too much room in your shelves not to read them ever again!
