I still think the best thing BN could do right now is to put the inventory levels of every bookstore on the store pages. I know they have them all on their intranet, since they can do searches of near-by stores to see if any neighbors have the book you are looking for. I'd just love to be able to go to bn.com and have it tell me which store (if any) I can go to today to get the book I want.
As it is, I mostly just go straight to amazon if I'm looking for a computer-related book, a sci-fi book, or a fantasy book, since my local bn's selection tends to be a bit lacking...
- ryanwaggoner 17y agoBoth Borders and BN already have this info on their websites.
- tsuraan 17y agoWow, I can't believe I never noticed that. I've always gone to the local store page, and then looked for a book search there; I never saw the "enter a zip code" box on the normal product page. Learn something every day...
- martin 17y agoEh, it doesn't really work. I was looking for a book recently, and the B&N web site said that 4 stores nearby had it. I called to confirm, and it turned out only one of them did.
