I visit B&N every month. I love discovering new titles and usually pick up 3-5 books. I don't know about you but the online experience is simply not the same (actually it's vastly different). It's never really about the price - it's business expenses so i don't care, it's not like we are talking about huge savings - a few dollars max per book.
I HATE reading off computer screen - i do it all the time but the experience of reading is very shallow - i skim through searching for information. When i find an interesting piece of information i research it more. With books when i find a piece of information that interest me or sparks curiosity i put the book down for a few moments (and i suspect everyone reads like that) to think it through - how it fits my life, my view of the world - what not. By definition one experience (online) is about collecting information while another (book) is about contextualizing that information.
