I'm not surprised, but still saddened. The headline on the screen behind says it all. The storefront at 3rd and King has been giving off death signals for over a year. It used to be far more vibrant; until good adoption of the Kindle came along. Our generations' kids will never experience that vibrant, welcoming bookstore vibe, hence why I'm still sad about this particular moment of reality, even while I celebrate the arrival of new technology like Kindle and iPad. Life can be like that.
