Bookstores

[Bookworm]

but I guess my angle is that the shop-type atmosphere is for those looking for the "experience."

I know what you mean. I could spend hours in bookstores (and I sometimes do; I'll spend an age in Waterstones browsing, and then buy a couple of books and go for a coffee in their in-store coffee shop and sit on one of their sofas reading, surrounded by books) mile:

I have a Kindle, which I find handier to carry around than a huge book sometimes, but I do prefer a physical book to read in all honesty, and their are certain authors I will specifically track down in store and buy their new releases in hardback.
