You really have no idea where you are, do you? (short)

Today at the independent used bookstore...

SC: Do you have electronic readers?
Me: ....No.
SC: *catbuttface*


Really? Really?

The only physical bookstore I know of that has its own e-reader is Barnes & Noble. And this person thought an indie used bookstore would have one? Wow...at least check a Best Buy or something. O.o You'll have much higher chances there, I guarantee.

Borders seems to have one.

I know our local independent bookstore now has some deal with Google Books to sell ebooks. I don't know how that works exactly...I think they must just get referral commissions or something. I don't think they carry any actual sorts of e-readers, though.

Perhaps she was hoping for a used e-reader? I know I wouldn't mind buying one used if it still came with all the books the previous owner(s) had loaded onto it...

That is rather an absurd place to go looking for that kind of technology, though. Most used book stores I visit have one computer for processing sales and maybe another one in some back office for all the financial stuff. Beyond those, the most advanced technology I've ever seen in used book stores are the electric lights and the fake security cameras.
