I like Borders <shrug>. At least my local store employs reasonably erudite people perfectly willing to stop what they're doing and chat with me about what books I might like based on shared interests. I like pulling three or four titles from the shelves, sitting down with them in the coffee shop and browsing them until I decide on a purchase. And though it's manipulative, their Rewards program usually ensures I have a 20-30% off coupon in my wallet. I like their location, too. Close to a Cold Stone Creamery, a Panera, etc. This goes back to a discussion elsewhere about Bookstores vs. eBookstores, or something like that. Buying an ebook directly online is great if I know what I want. I haven't seen the experience I describe above duplicated yet online.
