I know, right? I never had a Nook, but I still love going into a BN bricks and mortar store--one of the few bookstores left in my immediate area, and the ONLY big one with a good selection. Get a Starbucks in there, and an armload of books, I can kill half a day. :-) I don't really understand the publishing market and how bookstores make (or lose) money. But I wish BN had found a way to stay competitive and offer a better alternative. And Borders as well. Competition is good.
