They are certainly a major problem for second-hand bookshops, but I don't think they really affect the business of shops selling "new" books. It's online sales and the rise to domination of Waterstones that tends to do that. Really these days the only way for a small independent bookshop to survive is in a specialist market, where they can compete in terms of knowledge rather than on price. |

I don't think they have a major business impact either, Harry, but it dosn't stop other bookstores from complaining about it
