Is there something they can offer that digitalized products simply cannot offer?Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828279956944283037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797254726302984101.post-17423019962232267922011-10-02T23:05:31.374-04:002011-10-02T23:05:31.374-04:00Cool Idea.

You touched on it a bit in your proposal, but maybe you could also look into not just how the kindle is affecting the retailers, but how it is affecting the consumption and use of books by consumers, especially in the educational realm. There have also a good deal of lawsuits aimed at Amazon and the Kindle, so you could look into that as well.McCavitt Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09787410478513405522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797254726302984101.post-62824422356465372732011-10-02T21:49:51.057-04:002011-10-02T21:49:51.057-04:00I like the idea a lot.

I like the approach of how it affects B&N and Borders but maybe just for fun you can look at the competitors of Kindle just to see where it might be going in the coming years or if it needs to be concerned about anything at all.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04213616817611728033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797254726302984101.post-77022519524455933492011-10-02T21:43:39.250-04:002011-10-02T21:43:39.250-04:00Yea I think this is a great point and idea.

I'm interested in how you're going to suggest the future of our book reading, and I think you have a good start to a great project.

I'm also really interested to see what went wrong at Borders vs. Barnes and Noble. Nice work,Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03888850222291889915noreply@blogger.com
