Perhaps in collaboration with online book sales, the stores are merely outlets to the large bookstore chains, therefore revenue is generated in addition to store sales.
Be that as it may, whats even more interesting, most people estimated to be about 75% to 80% do not get past the first chapter in completion which obviously indicates that most people do not read from cover to cover the books purchased.
Perhaps the authors themselves are not writing well enough to keep the attention of its readers, a challenge perhaps in this day and age of computers, Internet, and premium television channel programming, its a challenge.
Or perhaps the reading skills of many are lacking, they are not able to keep up with there own brains capacity. What do I mean? The brain says, "Dude, you are boring me with the slow reading, put the book down, says the brain."
Inspite of the many distractions not to read, there are hundreds of millions still reading worldwide! -- Paul Stanley
