I think Charlynn has done a great job of making an old building full of boxed books into a thriving business, with plans to expand. Love this story!Becky McCrayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05752231568940350610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20995189.post-2535007701330254782009-05-11T09:33:00.000-05:002009-05-11T09:33:00.000-05:00I really think that the Kindle is a great idea. It is a fairly expensive product though. Also, the transition is going to take time. It will be the kids in High School and college who begin really using the Kindle-type products as a replacement for paper books. Once they have grown older it will then be mainstream. I don't believe that many in the older generations will ever switch over to electronic media products.<br /><br />BTW ~ Used book stores are a great idea. As long as the books are in good condition they read exactly the same. We have a few Half-Priced Bookstores in KC that allow you to buy used books and to sell back old books. Great concept.<br /><br />Jeremy @ RefocusingTechnology.comJeremyhttp://www.refocusingtechnology.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20995189.post-28602973085449999422009-05-11T08:51:00.000-05:002009-05-11T08:51:00.000-05:00Ari, I don't know. There are not very many Kindles locally. I do know one person in my circle of local acquaintances who has one. She's a librarian, too. :)Becky McCrayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05752231568940350610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20995189.post-56399718614822541212009-05-11T00:00:00.000-05:002009-05-11T00:00:00.000-05:00I'm curious how many Pixie customers--or families of the customers--own Kindles, in addition to wanting books. Or if they also enjoy the tactile sensation of flipping pages of a newspaper.<br /><br />There is a used bookstore like Pixie around the corner from me, too. There's always at least one person there.Ari Herzoghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04648669329660451685noreply@blogger.com
