Default OT Independent Book Store = dinosaur ???

...
Both my wife and my kid are nearly obsessed with books.

It occurred to me I might help them get their own book store started.

Now, practically speaking, in an age of Kindles, Amazon etc etc ... I
guess it would be hard to come up with a poorer business plan

But

Anybody have any "insider" facts/ opinions on the future of small
independent book sellers? Sources for such informed predictions?


Probably the only indi book store that could make it these days would
specialize in used books.

I have no insider facts/opinions, but my outsider opinion is that you're
right about it being a poor business plan.

I knew a woman who loved to bake. It was her passion of the moment. She
married an older man with a lot of dough -- both of them from out of
town. He built her a bakery here, and a matching log house. Both lovely.
She moved in with two enormous dogs and fell in love with a local
working construction on the bakery/house, divorced her husband, married
the guy, had a baby, lost the dogs, and is now in graduate school in
Boise. Another couple owns the bakery. It's doing very well.

Thanks, wayno. There is much more to this story than I dare tell.
