I agree with you. Some children show their interest in reading without following the example or listening to their parents read.
What I've analyzed is that few people read these days. When there are book events, few books are actually sold, but bookstores should innovate. We are in the age of artificial intelligence, robotics, and everything is advancing. Today I heard that the first newspaper created entirely by artificial intelligence was created, and it was very successful.
With us, the bookstores are doing well, unlike the cinemas.
Without any doubt,t AI can generate a newspaper since all the news is made up or translated by shitty translators. I find it a miracle that these things still sell. I don't believe one word that people read the newspapers, at most the clickbait misleading headers.
