The Closing of Borders and other Book Stores

It was bound to happen.  The iPad, Kindle e-book reader, Nook, and others have been a signal that the end of the printed books may be coming.

After all look  at all the magazines that have recently died or are currently dying.  U.S. New and World Report, Newsweek, Gourmet Magazine, and many others .  Major newspapers have been struggling too.

It’s all due to the fact that too many of you are on the internet.  WordPress, Blogspot, and the Huffington Post have all been part of the new wave of digital communications.
