It was Apr 2011 when Borders was liquidating their inventory. I stopped in to get a Sony 350.
Prior to that, it was back in the 90's when I frequented mall stores like B Dalton and Waldenbooks. Never been in a B&N. eBooks mean I never have to go to a bookstore or a library again Last edited by tubemonkey; 03-21-2012 at 09:21 PM. Reason: to add month & year |

Yesterday, to pick up a book I'd ordered in January. Most of the books I buy are only available as print books.

Not only was it over a year ago, I was only there (in a B&N) to look at their selection of Blu-ray movies. I bought 3 or 4 movies but didn't even look at any books.

Well, for the previous poll it was a couple of weeks, but for this one it's about fifteen minutes. I've just been to one during my lunch break.
I didn't buy anything, though. |

I tend to go into bookstores and look around but I've hardly bought a book in one for years.
I must confess to using my phone to take shots of interesting books and then trying to find ecopies at home. |

It's been about two years since I bought a book in a bookstore. I go in occasionally to get a photography magazine or to browse the books with the work of famous photographers but I have bought one in two years.

It's been about 8 or 9 months. And even then, I was meeting a friend for coffee. I didn't even look at the books.

I'm suddenly getting a "I tried it, but I didn't inhale" sorta vibe.
"Sure, I was in the bookstore... but not for books. Heavens no! I just go there to pick up calendars every now and then." |
