Books as business (not, for once, about CPSIA)

I liked this post from the owner of a bookstore (that's open only on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays).
"A friend of mine asked me if I was worried about people switching to the Kindle or something like it, and not buying books any more. I said no. I’d just close the store, keep the books I still wanted to read, and I could probably get by. She laughed. She has a friend who is a multi-millionaire. He’s depressed because he’s lost several million dollars in the last 6 months. He still has several million left. I have very little and don’t care if the business folds. I wouldn’t mind having his money, but I’d rather be me than him."--"Have you read all these books?"
