Have you noticed supermarket book sections getting smaller and less varied?

I usually pick up new books from either Asda or a larger branch of Tesco. I'm not sure if it's my local stores but the amount of shelf space given over to books seems to get smaller every time I go. Have you noticed this too?

I've also found that I go to select a book -usually in paperback- and it's not a new book, just a reprint with a different cover.

I appreciate there's better places to buy books but sometimes I just want the convenience of adding a book to my weekly shop.

Because most people buy online, the only people I know who buy books in Tesco are retired

I hope so. I get that they're cheaper but I like to buy books in bookshops, and the supermarkets undercut them so ruthlessly.

Go to an actual bookshop. Yes it is slightly inconvenient, but you have the experience of choosing your books in a bookshop.
