That sucks
BTW am I only one does have Amazon kook or Barnes Noble digisal reader
I prefer old fashioned book
I like books and I collect books. The problem with all brick and morter book chains is that they just don’t have the space to cater to every reader.
I get so frustrated at the lack of any male oriented books in the store I have to go to abe or amazon to order.
Im a big periodicals guy, specifically scale modeling and military/aviation. Since I like to look at what’s in them before deciding on buying (rather than subscribing) a physical store is the only way to go.
B&N, along with Borders, really expanded the selection of magazines and pushed the little guy news stands out of business. Since Borders died and removed competition I’ve noticed that B&N is cutting back on it’s magazines in both variety and inventory. They’ll probably end up killing the store near me. Hopefully the Books a Million and last local hobby shop will pick up the slack.
I don’t have a digital reader. I prefer books, too. Occasionally, I would like to have a reader to quickly find a quote, but that’s about it.
Me too.
Me too. That's why I hate Barnes and Noble, who have turned into a giant coffee shop/DVD/stationary store.
Look in your local Yellow Pages for "Used Book Stores" and give them your patronage -- they need it and you'll find tons of great books to read.
You’re not the only one. I like a book that I can prop on my lap or a pillow or wherever....not a piece of plastic I have to hold in my hand.
“I prefer old fashioned book”
I agree. I’ve got a kindle. I am pretty happy with it - it is great for travel, and if I can find the kindle it is easy to find the books. Also, there is so much great stuff in the public domain now, so free downloads.
That said, there is nothing like an honest, for real old book - hard cover with heavy stock paper. And I will NEVER lose the rush of entering a used book store and getting that wonderful musk of old paper, glue and leather.
But I do enjoy my kindle. It augments books, but does not replace them.
