There continues to be indie stores, but I find one has to hunt online as well as offline for them. Importantly, to spread good word of them via word of mouth and also to purchase from them when one is looking for specific titles on top of usual browsing. A useful thing is to also follow authors you love; they frequent their own local bookstores and actively sign books that you can pick up! I know this is the case for Jeff Vandermeer and Martha Wells.
