Book news this weekend. Dorchester Press going to ebooks and Barnes and Noble putting itself up for sale.
I remember trips to Barnes and Noble as a child. I worked in a Barnes and Noble. We hang out and get work done in Barnes and Noble.
The Economist had an interesting article about Barnes and Noble. They want to go private, because they want to concentrate on e-books and many investors still have trouble with the idea of an e-book. Amazon already sells more e-books than bound.
I keep saying it is hard to predict the future, but with ebooks and publishing on demand, you can imagine instead of a bookstore with a coffee shop, a coffee shop that is a bookstore.
Food and coffee for thought.
