How do I like to shop for books? At a book store.

Oh HELL YES!!! I remember walking into both Barnes & Noble and Borders years ago and asking them why I was unable to purchase ebooks at their stores. I would think they would have at least one terminal somewhere in the store that was specifically dedicated to that. If not why the hell not??
I love to shop in bookstores .... I like just walking around and looking at the physical books. I like the way bookstores smell, for pete's sake. I would like to be able to shop at book stores, but since I try whenever possible to purchase ebooks only now (which has more to do with scraping cat puke of the pages or finding pages my furry children have torn out and hidden under the couch, and scraping the cat puke off of those), I don't spend much money in those stores of late. I haven't since I got my first Rocket E Book.
