Why couldn't I find book stores in Hong Kong?

Hello.

I, Banana, wanted to buy a guide book of Hong Kong in Hong Kong.
I didn't prepare enjoying a visit for Hong Kong,
so I didn't have a information of sightseeing of Honk Kong.

I asked to my 同僚
'Please tell me the way to a book store near here.'

But he said
'There are few book stores in Hong Kong.'
'A Japanese 百貨店 has it. But I know only it.'

Yes, when I walked in main streets of Honk Kong,
I didn't find book stores.

Of course, there are 7-elevens, that sell magazines.
And along street, there are 露天, that sell magazines.
But that's all.

Uuuuuum,
I didn't believe there were no book store.
I don't believe there are no book store.
If no book stores in Japan,
If I don't have a book to read,
I can't imagine that if.

Do you know why there are few book stores in Hong Kong?
Please tell me why !

Bye-bye
