It is nice to see the store doing well. Unfortunately, my partner and I are pretty much all-in on ebooks at this point, aside from the odd graphic novel or coffee table book. I did manage to convince her to switch away from her Kindle to a Nook, with the idea that at least B&N would continue to get a cut of the sales when she stops buying physical. But even then, it's unlikely that a purchased Nook title would benefit our nearby store specifically, unless B&N somehow tracks the store from which the device was purchased.
Meanwhile, I'm rocking a Kobo, so, the only recurring business from me they're getting these days is the tin of tea I buy at their cafe.
Nonetheless, I still enjoy going there to browse. The new management seems to have a better "vision" of what the store should be, whereas the previous few years just screamed desperation. The place was starting to feel like half bookstore, half Toys 'R Us.
