I don't actually buy books from B&N since I'm a library user but I'd be bummed out without my neighborhood store. It's a good place for me to run to when I need to pick up gifts and cards--usually as I'm on my way to the party. It's also the local place to drop by for a bit to check out books, mags, grab a cup of tea/coffee and loiter. Like someone already posted, it's good to have an alternative to Amazon (I love it but I don't want it to be an Amazon-only world).
