At my local Borders, the coffee shop area is right beside the magazine aisles and there are plenty of overstuffed chairs so that you can easily sit down with your coffee and read magazines or even books which are next to the magazines. Even the children's reading area is full of seating areas. When my kids were young I'd take them there and we could read for quite a while *but* I always purchased some books to take home. The biggest issue was finding books that weren't shopworn.
