Well,
I guess I consider my self lucky then. I'm in Houston. I have a B&N as close as 5 min from home. Other one (my favorite one) 20 min driving. And the other one is like about 30 min from home.
The one that is about 20 min from home is my favorite one. Lot of couches

... and great selection of computer books that I can read for free, during hours, before hitting the button and buy from my Kindle, of course ...
