I pull this from a note I put in my phone on 2017-06-25.
Seeing that many book stores are closing down, and I don't want them to, particularly, Barnes & Nobles. B&N incorporated Starbucks in their stores to save their market.
One idea of mine: Get authors to sign contracts in order to display their books in the stores, the idea is that the main revenue of the stores would come from the authors, not readers. Not a great idea, but it's a start, for something more creative.
