Amazon Bookstore Coming to Georgetown

Who says we don't read print books anymore?

As reported by Washington Business Journal, Amazon has plans to open a bookstore in Georgetown. "Steven Roth, the chief executive of Vornado Realty Trust, told investors this week that Amazon has leased 10,000 square feet at 3040 M St. NW, a storefront previously occupied by Barneys New York." No date yet for store opening. Nike is next door, previous site of Barnes & Noble Books.

On the Seattle-based online retail giant’s website are six “coming soon” locations in California, New Jersey, New York and Washington.

Earlier this year, Amazon opened its first D.C.-area store of any kind — a 3,000-square-foot pickup location in the Terrapin Row building in College Park.
