I grew up trolling bookstores ... but until the Kobo came out, it was some years since I had spent any serious money in Chapters/Indigo or its predecessors.

I hadn't really thought about how I use the actual bricks and mortar Chapter's stores, but come to think of it, I go there only to buy books as gifts, especially for new babies/young children and to buy gift cards, also as gifts, for my older nieces and nephews. Before I bought my eReader, a Kobo, I had been purchasing almost all of my own books on line, sometimes through amazon.ca, sometimes through Chapters-Indigo.
