Quando o Golias parece imparável, o que fazer?

Quando o Golias parece imparável, o que fazer?
.
E que tal aplicar uma espécie de judo? Em vez de contrariar o Golias onde ele é forte, fazer batota, actuar onde não lhe dá jeito nenhum!
.
As ideias não são novas, no entanto, são mais um reforço do esforço missionário deste blogue, "A Not-So-Modest Plan To Save Bookstores From The Grim Reaper That Is Amazon":
"bookstores keep shutting their doors. Is the bookstore doomed? Yes, I‘m afraid it is - if it continues to compete with Amazon on price and volume. That’s a losing battle. But if bookstores compete on qualities that Amazon will never be able to duplicate, I believe there’s hope! (Provided Amazon doesn't open too many physical stores.)
...
Bookstores need to tap into every customers’ sensory experience. Think of all the book genres that lend themselves to sensory exploration: all the cookbooks, gardening books, the do-it-yourself books.
.
The entrance of every bookstore could become a sensory exploration zone: a movable kitchen, a mini-garden, a tool shed—something which not only catches the customer’s eye, but generates interest by stimulating all the senses.
.
I would allocate two or three days a week for new cookbook authors to visit the store, bring their own ingredients, and use the kitchen free-of-charge. The bookstore would fill with the aroma of cookbooks! I would invite garden authors to bring pots, seeds, and plants, and demonstrate some of their garden tricks. Do-it-yourself authors could come and demonstrate their skills, everything from building a model plane to restoring a door. Then stores could promote their books—physically and online."
