I don't miss browsing bookstores one bit! I do miss the really old "mom and pop" shops but in flyover country, they disappeared in the early 1970s when B&N moved to town. The last one of those died when I was a very young man. But they DID have a very limited selection, usually dictated by the tastes of the old lady behind the counter!

Nope! I see Amazon and Kobo, and all the other online shops as a good thing, full of the future! Bring me some more future please!
