'Indies are the Anti-Amazon, Anti-Retail Apocalypse Future'

"Independent bookstores are the anti-Amazon, anti-retail apocalypse future," Axios predicted in a new YouTube video titled "Indie bookstores flourish in an Amazon world."

"In the last 10 years, indie bookstores have grown by nearly 50% across the country," Axios said. "Why it matters: Amazon's rise has led to the demise of the chain bookstore industry. By 2016, 55% of all U.S. trade book purchases were on Amazon. Yet, American Booksellers Association CEO Oren Teicher says, 'Those stores don't create the kind of experience that you have in an indie bookstore.' "
