Bookstore

As I was walking in to the bookstore today, they replaced half of it with the nook section. I realized how much I like physically like holding my purchases. I like walking around the store and browsing. Anyone still go to the bookstore?

    My wife has turned our house into a damned library - no kidding - there are books everywhere - I can't build anymore bookshelves, cause we've just run out of room. Barnes & Noble is gonna put me in the poorhouse.

    I like visiting the book store but I love my nook and nook color. I bought a beautiful bookshelf last year for my books at home. I am actually thinking of selling them all except for my children's books. I don't care so much about holding the real deal. I love carrying around my nook with 960 books on hand at any time and I have room for many more. I am not a tree hugger by any means but think of all the saved trees! All of my books and magazines are right here in my hand. Haven't visited a B&N in a long time so maybe I should go check out what they have done.

    Hahahahaha books... yeah, I have a few of those. I downloaded the Kindle and Nook apps on my tablet, and I'm happy to have a bunch of books in-hand that way, but I don't think anything will ever replace the sensory appeal of the *printed* word for me. Oftentimes when I come across an article of any length online, I will print it out to enjoy later - staring at a screen all day, it's nice to have a different medium to read through. (Literally just printed out a New Yorker article releasing a previously-denied short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald.)
