(And why on earth did they start carrying dvds and cds when everything was going digital???)
When they started selling coffee at the bookstores I thought they were getting ready for a time when books would be printed on demand, that book will be ready in just a few minutes, why don't you try one of our lattes? Sure, I like lattes.

But I like my ereader more than printed books now.
