I felt like crying when Borders books folded. I hear they didn't make the transition to selling online too well.kyphysics said:This has been going on for years now/already, but I find the seemingly intentional removal of comfortable seating at Barnes and Noble bookstores to be really unpleasant and uninviting.
There is no reason for me to go and stay there. I used to go and spend half a Saturday or Sunday afternoon to early evening there just relaxing, exploring, reading, people watching, and even buying food/drink. Now, it's less enjoyable and I've lost a place to "chill."
I know...they probably think less stragglers leads to less property maintenance or something like that. But, for me, it also has meant just not going and buying/spending anything at all.
