I used to love chapters in Canada as somewhere you could go to sit and browse books casually in comfy chairs, and just loiter. I spent a ton on books back then. Now those chairs and tables are almost entirely gone. It doesn’t make sense, they can’t compete on convenience or selection, so why toss out the in-person shopping experience advantage?
