\"UnexpectedWeeks ago\u00a0<\/span>I asked the question: Do you prefer print or ebooks. I received many replies to my newsletter and a few here. If you’d like to read them or add one, here’s the link<\/a> to that blog. And here’s my reply to those who responded.<\/h2>\n

I appreciate your responses. But I need to let you in on why ebooks are so plentiful and print books are less available. In 2007 Amazon released the first Kindle.\u00a0And<\/span>\u00a0not long after that happened, the Borders and Waldenbook stores that had been in nearly every mall in the US folded. Take a moment and think about how that impacted publishers and authors. They lost HUGE amounts of selling space. Since then, Barnes & Noble has been near bankruptcy and has shut many stores and has reduced the bookshelf space in favor of toys, etc. Walmart is another major bookstore and it has also begun to reduce the space it holds for book sales. So authors and publishers have moved to ebooks which don\u2019t take up physical shelf space in a store. I don\u2019t expect this trend to change. Market forces are at work. So now you know–the rest of the story.<\/h2>\n

My November Question is related to my reply to the opinions.\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you prefer print, would you buy print books through amazon.com? You see it would cost me about double to upload my books in print form onto Amazon.com. I need to know if it would be worth it. After all, I want my readers to read my books in the form they prefer, but I\u2019m also living on my writing income. You see my dilemma. So what’s your reply?–Lyn<\/h2>\n
