Books

This weekend I ended up at a closeout sell at Borders. This particular store is located in Largo.. Now while i purchased Charles Dickens classic A Tale of Two Cites combined with Great Expectations for 10 bucks and George W. Bush's book... for 14 bucks and a puzzle for 10.

i couldn't help but wonder, what is happening to print media?

you hear it often. with newspapers no longer in circulation the rise of IPads, Kindles and the like..

What does this mean for the book world.. conversely the book world in the black community? We don't have very many bookstores, and one of the leading chains is closing up shop in our community.

Are the costs of books going up? has electronic books really taken control of the market..

I will always reach for a book.. there's just something about it. But at the same time, i will get that IPad II..

very interesting.. yet very disturbing.
