The last few times I was browsing around a bookstore, I didn’t make any purchases. Why? Because when I glanced at the price of the book, I knew I could get it cheaper on Amazon.com. Also, if I order at least $25.00 on Amazon, I get free shipping. I believe Borders and Barnes and Noble websites have the same deal – order $25 worth of books and get free shipping.
Amazon’s prices are usually a few dollars cheaper than the bookstores – the only exceptions I see are books that are lower-priced at Walmart. I do purchase books from Walmart occasionally. I also purchase books from the bookstore if they are on the discount rack/bin and I can get a brand new book for just a few dollars.
I wondered if these higher prices in bookstores were a signal that they’re going to be gone within the next ten years? 
Also, with e-readers, more people are purchasing their books online. From what I understand, you can store several books on your e-reader – not having to worry about lugging all of those paper books around with you.
How do you buy your books? Do you usually purchase them online or through a bookstore? Do you own an e-reader? If so, do you still purchase print books even though you have an e-reader? Do you think bookstores will still be around within the next ten years?
