But no. They don't. There are almost no brick and mortar book sellers left in business in the U.S. And even Best Buy is losing money left and right. Most of them have not survived, and the ones that have are certainly not thriving.
You're mixing arguments there. In the game industry it's the publishers who claim to be struggling and who are complaining about reselling. In the book industry, the publishers are thriving in spite of - and probably because of - the rise of e-books and online retailing. That the retail stores are struggling is neither here nor there.
