And I said that's not what I am doing. I am just trying to see if they have a good price. They don't.
Or I'm just spending some quiet time with a book that I don't intend on buying. In which case I am just as happy to wait for it at the library while I read something else at home. Either way I have no vested interest in resuscitating a failed business scheme.
Let me reiterate: I am not getting any value from Barnes & Noble that is actually worth cash to me. They are, in my mind, a library with no checkout and just as many books available sooner. But I'm not in a huge rush, and if I am then I do buy from them.
My money goes toward whatever value I feel I am getting. And I don't pay for what I can get for free. If Barnes & Noble closed down, I could still get everything they have, albeit without the instant gratification. And when I really want instant gratification, I pay Barnes & Noble for it.
