Abstract
- The article focuses on the decline of serious bookshops, attributing a significant portion of the challenge to the influence of online shopping platform Amazon and the broader impact of digital culture on reading habits. It mentions the consequences of Amazon's dominance, contrasting the transactional nature of online book purchasing with the experiential and educational aspects provided by physical bookshops.
