Canadians love to buy books!
With all the grim economic news out there it's a relief to know that book sales are up in Canada.
YEAR-OVER-YEAR GROWTH IN CANADIAN BOOK SALES SIGNIFICANT SO FAR IN 2009, BookNet Canada
Phew!
There's been a lot of news about Kindle lately, an e-book device. As well as Chapter's/Indigo Shortcovers, downloadable software and applications for iPhone and laptops that lets you read books one chapter at a time. Now I love tech toys as much as the next guy and I know that the whole wide world is changing because of a few generations of people being brought up against the backdrop of a tech playground. However, I will never forsake my life-long practice and habit of buying books, borrowing library books and the tactical pleasure of turning actual pages of a real live, bound, carefully designed book.
That's it!
