Celebrating Jane Austen’s Legacy 🎉 & The Rise of Ebooks📚✨

Welcome back to The Next Chapter Bookstore! In this week’s vlog, we dive into some exciting updates and bookish celebrations. We kick things off by honoring Jane Austen’s 250th birthday and sharing how fans across England celebrated—think book clubs, costumes, and Austen-inspired fun. If you’re a fan, it’s not too late to join the festivities and pick up one of her classics! We also bring the latest news from bookshop.org, highlighting their impressive 65% year-over-year growth and a big milestone: $1 million in ebook sales since launching their digital category in January. Learn how this online platform supports independent bookstores (just like us!), shares profits with local sellers, and plans to launch its own e-reading hardware. Whether you’re passionate about physical books, love ebooks and audiobooks, or want to support indie bookstores, this vlog is for you.
