[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I browse B&N, make a list of what I want, and then order off of Amazon.  Fully aware that I'm part of the problem but I'm not willing to pay 30-40% more in a brick & mortar store, sorry.  [/quote]

This is abhorrent behavior. When there are no more brick and mortar stores, it will be because of people like you. Congratulations. You might think I’m overreacting, but you are actively sabotaging the jobs and livelihood of every person who works in the store that you refuse to support. Go to the library if you can’t afford to buy a book. [/quote]

I do the same.  Library books are disgusting!  We did a class project when I was in middle school and the three places I had to swab samples was at the library (books, shared computer keyboard, desks).  We then let the swabbed samples grow and the book sample was worse than the keyboard!  That stuck with me and I stopped getting library books after I was finished with my schooling.

The reason why B&N and other bookstores have to charge more than Amazon is because of their brick&mortar overhead.  B&N.com can't have lower prices than in the store or else the stores would have to price match.

Sorry, but B&M stores are dying and there's just no saving that.  Also, not sorry for being fiscally responsible.  B&N and other bookstores... just another thing we silly millennials are killing!    [/quote]
