I do miss it, but I couldn't read paper any longer and actually stopped perusing bookstore on a regular basis before buying an ereader in 2010. I continued visiting but only a couple times a year to get the odd hobby magazine or gift book, but my Mom is the only one who still wanted gift books and she is ereader all the way. I am happy to see that local B&N is quite popular - lots of cars in parking lot whenever I drive by. The local used book store parking lot doesn't seem to have anybody at all except on the weekends.
