It's not about where to buy books, exactly. It's the need for a coffee shop and wi-fi place. The two Starbucks are already full most of the time. It was also a nice place to take little children and spend some time reading to them around other kids. Amazon doesn't replace that. I disagree about the books though. I'm not one of those people who buys bestsellers. I tend to happen on books and if they speak to me, I buy them. I probably won't be buying books now. I don't NEED books, so unless one seduces me (for which I need to see and touch the book) or I am pursuing some research, I won't be on Amazon looking around.
I do use Netflix for movies, 100%.
About the rent costs -- this is DHHL getting greedy, doing major hikes, and driving out established businesses (Island Naturals was the first victim), so thumbs down to their behavior.
