I love going into a bookstore and just wandering through the aisles. I've always been sold on a book by the cover and if the synopsis on the back peaks my interest I'll read a few pages to see if it's worth the buy. I like the smell of print, the feel of holding a book in hand, and dog earing the corner of a page. Though eBooks are convenient, curling up on a rainy day with an eReader holds little competition for curling up with a good ol' fashion book.
The indie bookstores are even more wonderful because you can find collector editions and hard backs of classics and unique novels for a really good price. Though the world spins ever faster towards complete technological dependance, there will always be a few die hards that keep the nostelgia of print in hand.
