Guilty!!! But for every book I read sitting on the floor, my wife buys two. I look at it this way, I never planned to buy, so they haven't really lost money. I was there only to accompany my wife. I would bet that the
Kindle and B&N's
Nook may have hastened the demise of the book store. I believe the
NY Times has already announced that they will stop printing papers and will only be available by subscription on-line beginning 2012 or 2014. Not sure about the target date.
