Unless you want to browse why bother with a high street bookstore. The Internet is our retail friend or even better (for most books I want) buy an e-book. Save a tree or 3 and avoid unnecessary clutter around the house too!
If only it was that streamlined though. Not all books are available in electronic format, especially the ones I have direct use with often (biology, biomed, medicine, chemistry books etc).
Would be great if I could have all of my text books, pictures and all, on something the size of a kindle.
