Borders book stores are closing! That was my home away from home.
Taht really sucks. I love bookstores. I can hang out in them for hours, and it's an awesome de-stresser for me. I have an ebook and don't use it. I love the feel of a book in my hands. Sometimes I'm afraid that books will become a thing of the past.
Yes,,, all the stores will be closing and 11k employees will be out of a job. I don't understand why they're closing because all of the locations that I used were great spots for a book store to be located at. The online services of Amazon for ordering books must have been too much competition for them. I think more hardwall stores in cities will close their doors because of online ordering of merchandise.
My local Border's closed last year. Brick and Mortar just can't compete with Online prices and selection.
I am dreading when they do away with real books entirely. I love reading a real book
Glad to know I'm not alone in my refusal to use a Kindle I love reading and can't imagine not having a real book in my hands. There's just something special about a book store.

I am with u. I love old book stores with old books. I love that old book smell. Handling the books is part of the pleasure of reading. I know times are changing and we have to change with it, but Give ME BOOKs or give me lotz of money
When I stay up too late like now, I get into a stupid mood (and don't say "aren't you like that anyway?") and feel like I lost 50 IQ points.

Not even funny ... We've had way too many train/vehicle/pedestrian accidents and delays on our commuter rail lines so I ain't laughing.
