Regarding people still having a use for paper books--absolutely I agree.
I was referring to Laredo's loss of its B Daltons bookstore, which Barnes and Noble (having bought B Daltons) closed down in spite of the fact that the Laredo store was profitable. That closing left Laredo without a bookstore.
The "physical book business" "went away" from Laredo because of Barnes and Noble--hence I thought it was very ironic that their execs would say that.
