T^T but i love the smell of kino. something about it brings me so much joy. lol never thought smelling books can be so comforting xD

i'm sure there will always be people who go back to paperbacks.

Kino should charge by min after one has spend more than 60mins in the store.
Else everyone just sit inside whole day to read the books.

I feel that it's alright to spend some time there reading the books. But how many would spend a whole day there? Not much tbh.

Physical book stores will have to be creative and adapt sales tactic to survive lor. Internet has changed advertising and retail landscape tremendously. They will likely migrate to niche markets.

Will be sad if Kino eventually shutter too, always like big bookstores since young, like walking into a big candy store.
