Abstract: La Feria de Libros Amazonas en Lima es un espacio de compra y venta de libros
orientado a un público perteneciente a sectores de bajos recursos económicos. Este
lugar, al ofrecer una amplia variedad de libros a precios bajos, busca reducir las barreras
que dificultan el acceso a la lectura y la cultura en el Perú. Ante el cierre temporal de la
feria durante la pandemia de la COVID-19, los libreros y vendedores de libros se vieron
forzados a modificar sus tradicionales formas de trabajo e incursionar en la venta online
y el uso de herramientas digitales, como WhatsApp y las redes sociales.
La pandemia de la COVID-19 precipitó una importante transición tecnológica que tuvo
un efecto en el quehacer de los libreros, la cual se expresó en una mayor facilidad para
realizar ventas, encontrar información pertinente sobre libros y un cambio en la relación
con los compradores de libros. Esta transición no solo permitió a los libreros subsistir a
las dificultades propias de las restricciones sanitarias, sino que, a la luz de los beneficios
y oportunidades que permitió identificar, también modificó sus percepciones con
respecto al internet y las tecnologías digitales contemporáneas, las cuales antes eran
percibidas como superficiales e incluso contrarias a las pretensiones intelectuales que
rodean el interés por leer libros. Los libreros reconocen que ellos mismos tienen
dificultades para mantenerse a la vanguardia de estos cambios y entre ellos coexisten
opiniones mixtas que evalúan estas transformaciones de manera tanto positiva como
negativa.
