With the increasing popularity of e-books, will traditional bookstores be eliminated?

I don't think so. The traditional bookstore operation mode is irreplaceable. It is not only a question of whether customers like to go to bookstores to read books, but also the result of the influence of business model, consumption concept and the trend of the times.

It is a historical law that new tools eliminate old tools. It's just that the new knowledge carrier technology can't completely replace paper books at present, but the old grand occasion of traditional bookstores is gone forever. After all, people have the right to choose, and they are destined to be divided into two ways.

Although there are many problems in the access and preservation of paper books, compared with e-books, the former is superior to the latter in confidentiality and security. However, such books are often unpopular with the public, and the number is limited, which basically has no ability to save bookstores. Traditional bookstores are at the bottom of the whole business chain and have no unique core products. Under the strong demand of modern people for time, it is difficult for young people to take time out to read books in bookstores because it is too extravagant.

However, traditional bookstores can still survive, and the necessary business model reform is necessary. Either go to a coffee shop for coffee or go to a teahouse for tea. The value that a bookstore gives people should no longer be a pure sea of books, but a resting place for the spirit. The value of serving everyone is an experience that e-books can't bring. When the radio appeared, people predicted that newspapers would disappear; When television appeared, people predicted that newspapers would disappear; But as we can see, newspapers are always there. Now, with the development of the Internet, people predict that newspapers will disappear.
