There are fewer and fewer physical bookstores, not only because they don't make money, but also because of what?

In addition to not making money, there are several reasons for the decrease of physical bookstores.

First, it does not conform to the development of the times. Nowadays, life is mostly fast-paced and reading fast. Most people's reading is contributed to e-books. After all, everyone is used to leaving their mobile phones at home now. Why not read some books about mobile phones by the way? And most e-books will be cheaper than paper books.

And now electronic products are more and more abundant. Just like the kindle. There are many such tablets specially used for reading. Moreover, paper books seem a bit out of date and do not conform to the development of the times. Survival of the fittest will naturally reduce the number of physical bookstores.

Second, the existence and promotion of libraries. If paper books are still irreplaceable. Then the library may be a better choice than the bookstore. Generally speaking, the library will have more books than the physical bookstore. And generally there will be a special reading position inside, unlike a physical bookstore, you may have to sit on the ground if you want to see it. This is actually very inconvenient.

And generally you can borrow books from the library when you get a library card. That price is better than buying every book. And the atmosphere in the library is generally quiet. Unlike bookstores, which sometimes buy everything, customers are noisy when they are around. This shows the superiority of the library.

Third, it is difficult to deal with the accumulated books. The existence of pirated books. You should often see people selling books in the street and on the roadside. They sometimes sell books by the pound. Moreover, the price they buy books is generally much higher than the normal price. Yes, those high probabilities are piracy.

However, they are mobile booths. So I'm good at finding audiences. When the student party is faced with a choice. Some people will naturally choose the cheap one. After all, everyone has so little money that they definitely want to buy the most things with the least money. This is also the reason for the poor competitiveness of physical bookstores.
