Those are good human numbers. Stillat 43,000, that’s like 115 packages a day. , 365. Sounds more like a warehouse situation than a bookstore?

I read physical books and kindle books. Physical because I love the feel (and when I comes to vintage books the smell) but also because I want my son, who is 7, to actually SEE me reading. Otherwise, I’m just “playing phone” as far as he can tell. The kindle app is great because if I can’t wait for a book to come out…

The thing I dont get is when I buy a used book on amazon the sellers have x number of ratings over the past 12 months, and for most of the sellers that number is in the hundreds of thousands. And that’s just the number of buyers who bothered to give feedback. What kind of mom and pop operation has the ability to make…
