Selling physical books: Is it a complete failure now?

[Kross]

I remember when people used to have mega bookshops and they were doing good business selling books. It seems though like that time has passed. Books are more digitized now. Do you think that selling of physical paper books would still fly in today's digitized society?

It is only physical books for basic school that are being bought by people now. Most other books are being sold digitally now.

No it is not a complete failure, there are still people who buy offline books, though most people often prefer soft copy books.

Selling physical books can't be a main business for anyone now. It can't finance the livelihood of anyone.

I still purchase books for reading for my book review website. Due to resume robbery racket, I have been isolated completely, so books are one way to get information.

I don't buy physical books. It has been close to ten years I bought a paperback. I don't think it still sells.

Physical books are still selling in my country. It is less than a quarter of the population of my country that are tech compliant like that to switch entirely to e-books.

Physical books is still selling and there is a difference between a physical book from digital books. I love physical books and I still go for them. The feeling and texture gives me immense joy and fulfillment!

Well, physical books are still in demand and people still buy books especially educational books (college and school books).

Selling of physical books is no longer as lucrative as it used to be because of the invention of ebook. However, it is not a complete failure because I just visited a bookshop and the woman's shop was filled with customers, I had to wait a while outside.
