A business needs to understand their potential customers. Who they are, what is most important to them, why they did or didn't buy, what they can do to serve them better, if they were satisfied with their purchase and if they'll buy again. I'm sorry but if they don't view avid readers as potential customers and aren't trying to understand them then they are fools and deserve to go out of business.
