Daryaganj, 23rd April

Delhiwallahs seem to be going away from bookshops, as e-book readers and e-commerce retailers are on a rise.

Mr Dhyanchand, owner of Chand book agency at Connaught Place lamented that his sales has declined to half in the past two years. He attributes it to e-book readers Like Kindle and Nook, which he says take people away from books. Other bookshops like Work store and Malik's also have similar stories to tell.

A talk with readers elicits a different view. Divya, from JNU, says that e-readers are easy to carry, and also cheap and easily accessible. There are other readers who will buy books with their last penny. Their emotional attachment with printed books is too much to let go. Judging who is right is difficult, but whatever be the case, reading should go on.
