Lots of pics.

They don't like AmazonBooks but they do document all B&N does wrong.

Bottom line:

Well, we'll never see an Amazon bookstore in Springfield, Illinois, but we DO have a B&N. So I give B&N credit for THAT, at least. Though they did drive the 3 local bookstores out of business. I give them debits for THAT!

In my eyes, the only reason for a physical Amazon bookstore is to give users an opportunity to handle and test electronics and maybe promote books published by Amazon.

The truth is, the online Amazon shopping experience for books is superior to physical shopping. At least in my eyes, it is.
