I have to agree immediate gratification can come from an e-reader but I could also walk into a bookstore and get just a much gratification by looking at all of the different books and deciding which one to buy and read. Plus the employees at the Borders I was going to where amazing. I have never been treated so well before. They where so helpful with the selections and I got to know some of them and consider them my friends.
I had never been to a books signing before and was so nervous the first time I attended one that they had. I loved going to the book signing they treated the authors so well and had fun things going on for the book signing while you waited in line and before the author showed up.
It will be really sad if there where no more bookstores around. I don't even like that the music and movie stores are almost all gone. Technology is great for some things but I still say there is nothing better then having a book in your hands while you are reading.
