hopefully the workers can get away with a nice haul
books
I thought it was better than barnes and noble, oh well. They had better coffee too
lol its the same coffee
This is sad. I like Borders.
pretty soon book stores are gonna be those little hidden away stores in the corner of malls again like they used to be.
like Walden's
Borders had Seattle's Best and I think Barnes and Noble had Starbucks
Pretty sure that's the same coffee.
It's not.
lol I dont know why that taste different to me then.
starbucks owns seattles best
yeah it does. I prefer Seattle best tbh.
fck the workers, whattabout the ppl who has them vouchers thats not refundable...fck that
Damn. I loved Borders. They had 30 and 40% off coupons all the time.
Guess I'll be hitting up the local stores soon and seeing if I can grab some stuff on the cheap.
And was usually still more expensive than Amazon.
They need to stop selling all there at MSRP tbh. A dvd for a 10 year old movie is still like 30 bucks at borders.
Gah. The one at Huebner Oaks was nice and the one at the Quarry was nice as well. Now I'm going to have to go to La Cantera for anything reading related.
Thats my main problem with them. Amazon is king so they have to think of a new way to do things. I'm not surprised no one wanted to buy them.They need to stop selling all there at MSRP tbh. A dvd for a 10 year old movie is still like 30 bucks at borders.
While I like Amazon I still enjoy going to a bookstore and browsing and I'd still much rather have a real book than a kindle. Sucks.
I know most people make fun of you for being various things etc. but this is not one of those attempts.
I am curious as to what it is about a book that you like over a kindle or nook? This seems like one of those rare times in history where the advance in technology takes all of the good qualities with it as it progresses.
Not all of the good qualities. Many people enjoy the smell and feel of new books. That can't be replaced by any technological advance.
I've been a reader since I can remember and I simply like a book better than a kindle. Perhaps it is because of my age. My kids don't remember the days of not having the internet, or TV, video games, etc. Now if someone gave me a kindle or nook as a present I'd probably use it but I'm not going to go out and buy one. Give me a real book or newspaper and that will suit me just fine. I have reading material with me at all times because if I'm waiting...I'm reading and would rather do that than use my cell phone or the internet. I don't have a smart phone or web service and don't live through it like many I know. I still use a pen and pencil and a legal pad all the time for notes and I still use a paper planner. I'm just old school to be honest.
I know the smell of which you speak, though I have noticed it, I haven't noticed it being gone with my nook. I can, however see how someone else may miss it.
Oh, and though it wont be replaced, it could be replaced by technological advance.
I understand being old school and a lot of people do that because there is something about the new way which is lacking. What specifically does the ereader not offer that a book does?
