I think I'm spent after the first two threads.

The blue one next to the fish.

It was Apr 2011 when Borders was liquidating their inventory. I stopped in to get a Sony 350.

Prior to that, it was back in the 90's when I frequented mall stores like B Dalton and Waldenbooks. Never been in a B&N.

eBooks mean I never have to go to a bookstore or a library again

The last time I was in a bookstore was over 6 Months ago, and I bought a Kobo Touch not books.

Tattncat · 03-21-2012, 01:17 AM

I have been traveling in the desert for the last 4 months.

HenryCrun · 03-21-2012, 02:23 AM

Yesterday, to pick up a book I'd ordered in January. Most of the books I buy are only available as print books.

Talldog · 03-21-2012, 07:18 AM

Not only was it over a year ago, I was only there (in a B&N) to look at their selection of Blu-ray movies. I bought 3 or 4 movies but didn't even look at any books.

DrNefario · 03-21-2012, 09:44 AM

Well, for the previous poll it was a couple of weeks, but for this one it's about fifteen minutes. I've just been to one during my lunch break.

I didn't buy anything, though.

Laine · 03-21-2012, 10:08 AM

I tend to go into bookstores and look around but I've hardly bought a book in one for years.

I must confess to using my phone to take shots of interesting books and then trying to find ecopies at home.

patrickt · 03-21-2012, 11:30 AM

It's been about two years since I bought a book in a bookstore. I go in occasionally to get a photography magazine or to browse the books with the work of famous photographers but I have bought one in two years.

RiverY · 03-21-2012, 01:34 PM

It's been about 8 or 9 months. And even then, I was meeting a friend for coffee. I didn't even look at the books.

DiapDealer · 03-21-2012, 04:11 PM

I'm suddenly getting a "I tried it, but I didn't inhale" sorta vibe.

"Sure, I was in the bookstore... but not for books. Heavens no! I just go there to pick up calendars every now and then."
