Yes I do. When there is something I want to read I will go to somewhere like Barnes & Noble, but I also like reading online as well.

I dont shop at book stores, never have,  I used to shop at used book stores, but now Im more frugal and I get my books from the local library, and if they dont have it, they will ship the book to me from another library in my state

No, I couldn't afford it with how much I read every year. In fact heading to the Library  Tomorrow. Hoping to find a certain book I saw at a discount chain, and I do usually find them.

I used to go to Barnes and Noble religiously every week. Now I haven't been inside one in a couple of years.

I buy all my books on Amazon. I read mostly Kindle books/e-books more so than physical books. There are books that I need a physical copy of - reading it electronically just won't cut it for me.

What I do miss about going to Barnes and Noble is the smell of coffee coming from the Starbucks cafe inside the store. There's something special about the smell of fresh brewed coffee and books. :D

I do like to browse in a bookstore now and then.  However, if there is a book I want to buy, I check online for it, and usually I find it cheaper on Amazon than at Barnes and Noble.

Lately, there is no time to visit a book store.  I visit on line.

I have not been to a book store in a while but when I did I would go to the book swap store and walmart has some good prices on their books as well.
