NEW PAPER ARTICLE

This article was out of the Daily Telegraph.
The article explains that as technology in increasing and peoples needs for bigger and better things increases, bookshops for example are feeling the brunt of this. The 'growing popularity or e-readers such as the Kindle have forced nearly 2,000 bookshops to close since 2005'. People don't feel the need to buy or borrow books from the library, if they can read books while they are on the move, or on a portable system that they already use anyway, an example of this is the i-Phone. On the i-Phone the user can read books, play games, look at the weather, read the news and still have all the qualities of a regular mobile phone. It comes down to the convenience of the system, as carrying around a Kindle or an i-Phone is more practical than carrying around 5 different books.
Its not just the independent bookshops that this is having an effect on its also the well known bookshops such as 
Waterstones are having to close branches. 
The article then goes on to explain what effect closing bookshops and libraries will have on the public. 'In the UK today one person in six struggles with their literacy. As this can negatively affect all areas of an individual's life, from employment to health, any decline in institutions that encourage reading is a potential concern.'
' The volume of books being bought is in decline. In 2010 a total of 229.3 million books were sold in Britain, a 1.7 percent decrease on 2009, according to a research company Nielsen Bookscan.'
