At first when I saw we were going to watch a video about books and that these two girls did a documentary, I got excited. Then….I watched it. I love books. I actually wish I could afford to buy more hardcover books, but I don’t which is why I have a Nook. Personally, I didn’t like the documentary. I thought it was all about the bookstore owners less about the books. Yes we need bookstores to have books. Yes I love smelling books too, but it just didn’t cut it for me. There’s so much more to having a book in your hand besides the bookstore. I love the classic feel of books in my hands. There are things on a hardcover you just can’t get in an ebook. I wondered why they didn’t go to Barnes & Noble. Maybe it isn’t an artsy small bookstore, but I like the room and the sitting on the floor. I wanted to like it. I just feel like they’re missing a lot by placing ereaders on the negative. I have one and I have a whole shelf of hardcover books. Maybe the older generation hates it, but I can’t afford to buy 5 books a week if that’s how fast I read. Regular people dont buy ereaders. Booklovers do because they want to read more. I think that’s the one thing everyone forgets.
