There is a certain comfort to know that bookstores are still around. Tablets are great when you want a quick read between meetings, a download in an airport, or for the sake of convenience. There is an aesthetic feeling of actually handling a book. Given that you can highlight a paragraph, or not have to worry about losing your bookmark when you use a tablet.
Perhaps, it's the nerdy feeling of walking through the aisles of a bookstore, grabbing a corner chair to read and thumb through a few pages before purchase. The tablets don't have the artistry or allure of book covers that causes curiosity.
Then there is the children's corner, where parents lovingly read stories. The tables and carpets are bright. Also, the music section where we can purchase good old fashioned Vinyl records or listen to cd's.
Barnes and Nobles bookstores seem are few and far in between. It seems like perhaps downloading a book is the way to go. The entrance features a Nook stand. Then again, there is a magazine corner and a Starbuck's coffee shop. The loyal book patrons are still thumbing through pages with a cup of java in hand.
