I rememeber back when I was younger and we had Waldenbooks. They had free book clubs. You picked the genres you were interested in and got a card for the genres. You got 10% off if you bought so much and 15% off if you bought more. They eventually did away with these clubs, but the cards were still valid. It was fun to go buy some books and the staff trying to figure out how my card worked and how to ring up the purchase.
Back when, a Borders opened up near my mom and I used to give her a gift card. So liked the gift cards. She could go to Borders and buy what she wanted. Then eventually, she moved to reading on a Reader and I would get her eBooks from the library or I would buy some of the books she wanted to read. I had her laptop setup with Calibre and Teamviewer. I would have her plug in the Reader (Sony) and one Calibre saw it I was able to access her Calibre and do what needed to be done to sort out her eBooks. I enjoyed helping mom. She did like to read and I took after her in that regard.
Yes, I was able to spend too much time browsing bookstores. I still do sometimes. But not as much and for not nearly as long. I do so to get a recommendation of what I might want t read. Places like Amazon and Kobo are not all that great for finding something to read if you are going in with nothing in mind.
