My fave bookstore is Half-Price Books--for the obvious reason but also because sometimes it's fun to rescue a book that someone else no longer wanted. Plus they have other media, including magazines for a fraction of their original cover price (Architectural Digest, anyone?!). I am hopelessly addicted to my Kindle, however, and honestly, I rarely read in any other format. I don't want to believe that paper and ink are dinosaurs and nearly extinct, but on the other hand, am I doing my part to stop it if I'm reading e-books and shopping at HPB? Hmmmm...Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08809913527142033733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-19411038848433074282013-11-15T07:17:47.980-05:002013-11-15T07:17:47.980-05:00The nearest bookstore for me is a BAM 40 miles awa...The nearest bookstore for me is a BAM 40 miles away, and sometimes I literally hunger for the feel of one. I took Walden Books for granted when I could visit it every day and would give so much to have it back. I love my Kindle and Amazon, too, but I miss those aisles, the cashiers who said "oh, that's so good!" when I was checking out and then told me why it was so good.<br /><br />This was a great, post, Margie. I'm so glad you put it up--I'd have hated to miss it!Liz Flahertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06794565644883272260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-71868529873889909832013-11-15T01:07:51.576-05:002013-11-15T01:07:51.576-05:00Shawn--I totally agree.

I love the atmosphere of my B&N, it's my second home.<br /><br />And Kristi--I love, love walking the aisles and checking out the new books.Margiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03843006118151762550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-53327247972050590512013-11-14T23:24:44.977-05:002013-11-14T23:24:44.977-05:00I think there has to be a way we can all get along...I think there has to be a way we can all get along and live in happy, book-reading bliss. Because as much as I love my Kindle, I like wandering the bookstore more. And I always buy more books at B&N or BAM (books-a-million) that when I'm perusing the Kindle store.Kristina Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13674920511835640874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-39900145799141437972013-11-14T21:37:06.931-05:002013-11-14T21:37:06.931-05:00When the B&N near our house closed down, I was...When the B&N near our house closed down, I was so bummed. I used to request B&N gift cards for Christmas. It wasn't just the books, but the comfy chairs you could curl up in and read. And the coffee! Yum. I'm getting misty.Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04264060298236728344noreply@blogger.com
