[quote=squat250]i buy from amazon, sometimes, but we hang out at barnes and noble. so i feel bad not buying books there too… because we enjoy the ambience.
i would not buy any of my kids any tablet or smartphone.[/quote]
I love bookstores. I try to buy from them for the same reason. A few bucks extra for the browsing time.
Best thing you can do with a book is give it to someone else to read. Not counting reference books, I have a few books that I want to keep, but none bad enough that if I knew someone else wanted to read it, I wouldn’t pass it on. Nothing sadder than a book gathering dust on a shelf. They should be read, over and over and over again. Ideal mechanism to pay it forward.
