Suppose the independent book sellers take your suggestion and just go out of business, is that a better world for everyone?
Sure if you are one of the entitled folks who can afford a computer, an Internet connection , and (multiple) reading devices. What if you don't have any of that , but just want to buy a book from a local bookstore? Sucks then, doesn't it?
Try to think beyond the Mobile Read bubble just a little bit, please.

You must be one of the entitled folks to be able to afford the prices of the independent local book stores. And yes, sometimes a business model becomes obsolete and there are some who wish those businesses could stay around. Unfortunately most people don't want them enough to support them. The world moves on.
