Well, here I am, still trying to make a living as a bookseller in 2015. Booksellers have never made much money and these days it's even worse.
But I'm not here to complain, far from it. I genuinely think books will be around for a good while. It's not that I don't like eBooks and the such, I just think many people like books made from paper, that's been my experience, so far, and I doubt it will change anytime soon. Indeed, checkout this story from the NYTimes: The Plot Twist: E-Book Sales Slip, and Print Is Far From Dead
So what's in store for books and those who enjoy them? I don't know, but maybe we can find out together.
