  • @cmadison93 warehouses? in america? not likely. they'll probably be overseas. But you're right, I'm not good at debating economics. I just made the comment in jest.

  • @DeathlyDavid

    The jobs regarding paper books or ebooks are going to be shipped overseas regardless of whether there is a Kindle or not.

  • @EvanescentMelody One word: Yes

    Two Words: Library E-books

    Three Words: Lending of E-Books

  • @cmadison93 But all the jobs will be shipped off overseas to China. Anyway, still like the convenience of the Kindle.

  • @EvanescentMelody

    One word: Yes.

    Two words: Gas prices

    Three words: Sharing of files

  • @lucyinthesky16

    All you have shown is a poor understanding of economics. Sure, on the surface it might appear as though jobs are lost. However, there are just as many jobs that are gained. More Amazon warehouses open up, needing more workers for customer service/delivery/etc. More people need to be hired to manufacture the parts that make up the Kindle. More tech-support. More engineers. More accountants, etc. More people becoming authors due to the ease of becoming an author with eReaders, etc

  • A lot of bookstores where I lived are closed down, but there's Walmart, K-mart, and some other place I think. It definitely sucks because my mom hates reading off computers and I do too because it hurts our eyes after a while.

  • I hate Kindle. I bet it is the reason why Borders is closing down! My only comic resource! And I love to hold physical book than a artificial book.

  • @lucyinthesky16 yeah i'd kill to work at a bookstore. HA that's not gonna happen any more.

  • @insanitymoonshine

    One word: No.

    Two words: public libraries.

    Three words: used book stores.
