I know the feeling because no matter how many search engines we have, there is something about looking for an answer in a book. The sad truth is that Borders and other bookstores have really become study rooms. They have replaced the libraries that I used to study in and with no financial benefit to the stores other than the coffee shops within.

I look at the book prices at book stores and know that any financially savvy person will buy online. My simple solution to compete with online would be match the pricing first and second to keep the doors open at a physical location, put together a membership program that provides a full on study room with computers etc, books, coffee that college students can go to study and make it relatively inexpensive. Volume should create the necessary revenue stream.
