Full disclosure: I'm a boomer. I was raised reading books, learned how to do research using real books, and I still vastly prefer real books to their alternatives. And not just books but magazines, as well. I'm at my local library every Saturday, returning items and browsing the stacks for new reading material (new as in I haven't read it). I usually visit B&N once a month to pick up the magazines my library doesn't have but also to browse. There are only a couple used book stores left but I will still visit them every 3 or 4 months. Before Borders blew up, I'd visit them instead of B&N because they were closer. Because my library is so awesome, I don't typically buy new books because I can get them there. Yeah, there may be a wait for popular items but they can be reserved and there are plenty more available immediately. That's me. You do you.
