EReaders can't tell me what new books are coming out.
Actually they can. I'm signed up to get emails for when books my preferred genre or preferred authors are released. You can get this on your ereader, smartphone or computer.

uou have to wonder if kids will do any reading in the future,
Presumably they'll do like more and more people are doing, read the news online. That way I can pick and choose the stories that I'm interested in without having to sit through endless nonsense and filler. If I want to read about economics and the tax code, I can read the WSJ, NYT and the Economist, without having to listen to "personalities" prattle on about stuff that doesn't interest me. Like what some celebrity is up to. That's one of my biggest gripes about television news these days, they've become watered down tabloid shows to the point that there's very little content. Or they have a bunch of no-nothing politicians yelling back and forth. I want to read the opinions of people who are actually educated on the issue, not a bunch of partisan politics that have no insight whatever.

It was awesome... The last Buckhead bastion.

Joe Muggs>? Gone... Tower Records>? Gone... Media Play>? Gone...

Thoughts>? Hell, I still miss Oxford Books more than anything!
Yes, I live out of town and it was shocking to see Borders empty one day, as part of my usual "bookstore crawl"... at that time Borders was, I think, about the halfway point between Little Five Points shops and Fantasyland, and a great stop it was...

Yes, I will go to my grave missing the various Oxford locations... sorry, Oxford Comics just doesn't light my fire... nice stuff, but little or no discount/used material...
