Nonprofit bookstore drops prices to counter e-books

From the Times-News:
With e-book sales up and paperback sales down, The Book Exchange of Flat Rock said it will change its prices and exchange procedures to bolster declining revenues.

The Book Exchange is a nonprofit bookstore in the old Flat Rock Post Office. Run by roughly 50 volunteers from the Ladies Aide Society of Flat Rock, the bookstore donates its profits back into community nonprofits, but because of lagging sales, its contributions are dropping.

In 2012, the bookstore was able to give $16,000 to nonprofits, but in 2013 the donation total dropped to $12,000. . .
Read it all and go buy a book!
