Indie Booksellers and Ebooks

Publisher’s Weekly has an interesting article on how independent book sellers are feeling about ebooks:

For bookstore owners who see e-books as a nonstarter, one major concern is price. “You’re not going to make 40% of your margin on e-books,” said David Didriksen, president of Willow Books & Cafe in Acton, Mass. “Therein lies the problem, as I see it. You’re making pennies per transaction; e-books are a pipe dream. Books still sell every day.” In a similar vein, Mitchell Kaplan, cofounder and owner of Books & Books, headquartered in Coral Gables, Fla., plans to continue doing what he does best. “I have to serve my core customer, and that doesn’t fall into the realm of e-books,” he said. “We have to provide value of a different sort. We focus more on a sense of place, providing a place for people to come. Can you stop an Amazon? While we can’t do electronic books well, they can’t capture a big share of what we do well.”
