Dear boys and girls, I firmly believe physical bookstores will survive despite digital competition. Here’s why.
Firstly, physical bookstores offer irreplaceable experiences. The smell of paper and ink, the sound of flipping pages, and the joy of discovering a long-desired book create a kind of magic that no screen can match. Secondly, they serve as cultural centers. Many host author events or reading clubs, building communities for people who desire face-to-face interactions around shared interests. Lastly, physical bookstores facilitate human interaction. Knowledgeable staff provide personalized recommendations based on a deeper understanding of your preferences, something that computer programs often miss.
While e-books are convenient, they lack this warmth. As long as people value real connections and cultural spaces, physical bookstores will adapt rather than disappear. Let’s keep supporting these treasure houses of wisdom! Thank you.
