Aw Man

I just found out that my Borders is on the list of closing stores which will leave me with only B&N which was actually here first. I hate to say it, but I hope that they have some major markdowns.

They say that e-books have played a major part in its downfall but I'm still one who loves to read from an actual book. What kind are you?

I heard about the Borders closings, but where is the list of the stores that'll be shut? I couldn't find that and was wondering if my one in PA will be closed down.

We've been talking about the struggles of bookstores in my classes and a lot of the problem, too, is Amazon because of their discounts and because of how easy it is for people to order online.

I love actual books. I don't have an e-reader. It would probably be useful when I'm traveling because books take up so much space, but I could never rely on an e-reader. I just love the feel and the smell of a physical book.

I usually only use Amazon for stuff I can't find elsewhere. As for an e-readeer, yeah, they'd be great for travel and I actually contemplated getting one because of that.
