Jaption's Company: 13 reasons bookstores are better than Amazon

Can Amazon whisk you off your feet like walls filled with rows and rows of books can? I don't think so.

There's a certain magic evoked in bookstores that the Internet just can't replicate. Even though just about 60% of books are bought online now, there is a case for the sentiment of bookstores.

1. Nothing beats that new book smell.
2. You can get lost in a bookstore and forget all about the outside world.
3. There's just something about being surrounded by thousands of books that devices can't replicate.
4. And you can forget all about bookstore pets.

5. You can discover books on your own, without the help of computer science.
6. You're more likely to learn something new when a book is right in front of you.

7. Real books bring a little something to life with each page.
8. Nothing feels better than a leather bound book.
9. You can't rush home from Amazon with a bag full of new books.
10. You can try it on before you buy it.
11. Books and a hot beverage are the perfect combination. The internet can't give you that.
12. In bookstores, you can interact with all kinds of people.
13. Because, bookstore people are the best people.
