I rely on my B&N. I would be lost without it. I dont really like to buy books online. I think I’m too cheap to pay for shipping and I dont want to have to wait for the books to get to me.

I have an e-reader, and I wish that Amazon would sell books in a PDF format for my Sony E reader…but they are only linked to the Kindle.
Also, I wish out of print books would be available in E book form.

Sometimes I find the books I’m looking for in stores. When I can’t I buy them online.

“All He Desires” looks like a great book! I’d love to win a copy!

Hi, Anthea! Congrats!! The book sounds delicious!

I usually have to go to my local B&N one or two days after “release day” to find all the new releases. And even then, they sometimes still have to go in the back to get a couple of them. It can certainly be frustrating at times.

I just give my daughters the money and they get it for me But from what I’ve heard them say they rarely if ever find it in the big name bookstores, they go to the small business specialist bookstores that already know them by name.

In the Borders I go to they have all the newest paperbacks and romance in the very front and off to the left as soon as you enter. If it isn’t there I ask at the front desk and then order it if they don’t have it.
I enjoyed reading your post. I always order the books from the library as well. Way before it’s released just so I know it won’t be a forever wait.

as an international readers, sometimes it’s so hard for me to get a book on the day its release. i just can wait our local book store has the Indonesian version of the book.
and if i get so lucky, i could win on several contest on blogs
like the Anna Campbell book, Captive of Sin, it was my lucky day, i won it at the end of last month.

i do like to go to bookstore to buy a book not buy it on line though.

I actually try as much as possible to physically buy the book; I hate ordering them online for some quirky reason. That said, I don’t usually buy on release date (the last time I did was with the seventh Harry Potter book, and even that time I only went because a huge group of friends wanted to go to the release “party” at Borders), so most of the time I have no trouble finding the book. If I can’t, though, I have no qualms about flagging down an employee.

Lately our local Barnes and Noble store has been displaying romances in a more obvious and convenient way. There is a big display”cube” in the front of the store with the newest releases (is this being dumped?) and they have rearranged the romance section. The first shelf you come to has more recent releases, then the alphabetical by author shelving usually has the newer releases facing out. It makes it pretty easy to find what you want. The one problem is genre shelving. You may look for it in romance, but it is in sci-fi, fantasy, or paranormal.
