Missing: Bookstores-If Found Please Call Authorities

It seems as if everyone these days has some sort of tablet. Whether its an Ipad, A Nook, or Kindle Fire, these devices have seemingly made our lives easier. But there’s one thing that was not expected with the emergence of tablets, the disappearance of bookstores. There was a time when there would be a Barnes & Nobles or Borders on every corner, now they’re harder to find than a hooker in a church. Although I love tablets, I still read paper books. There’s nothing like bookmarking a page by making a small triangle in the corner, or that fresh crease when you first open a book. With the holidays coming up, let’s try and visit a bookstore for gifts or giving a gift card to your niece or nephew. Physically holding a book in your hands doesn’t compare to the fluorescent glow from your LCD screen.
