More bad news came when Typhoon Nari battered Taiwan in September, causing losses of tens of millions for the publishing industry. The long-established and well-respected Senseio Bookstore suffered damage worth NT $ 60 million, causing its market valuation to tumble by NT $ 20 million. Even Eslite bookstore, which had long been on a solid economic footing, was forced to postdate its checks.
九月納莉颱風重創台灣，對出版業而言更是雪上加霜，損失動輒以百萬、千萬計，其中老字號的新學友書局損失逾六千萬台幣最為慘重，因此還一度發生近二千萬元的跳票風波，就連營運狀況良好的誠品書店也傳出延期兌票。
