There's a holier-than-thou attitude at this place, almost as if you need a credit check before you walk in. None of the sections have any signs - they probably think signs are "so Indigo" - so you make your own way through the store to find what you want. The only saving grace is the better selection of books you'll find here than if you went to a "regular" bookstore.]]>

There are lots of different takes, but one reasonable one is that big boxes aren't bad, just so price-competitive that they crowd smaller competitors out of the market.  In bookstores, as in other creative sectors, too much market concentration may reduce the diversity of voices.]]>

I agree. I don't think there's anything inherently wrong in shopping online, or at Chapters; but all things being equal I like to support the local/independent business.

The reality though is that all things are not equal. Online stores or Chapters usually have better selection or prices - so the best independent stores (and the ones I shop at) have learned to carve out a niche and specialize in certain categories. On top of that they offer better (and more expert) service. ]]>

Question from an ignorant shopper, so please do not crucify me... Why are online or bigbox BOOKstores bad?  I like to go into the independents to look through quirky books that otherwise would not be displayed in the Indigo/Chapters/Coles.  Other than that, for sheer choice I like the bigboxes and for buying "sometimes useless" textbooks for school that I am forced to buy, I like the online discounts.  It think there is something for everyone.  Isn't there any way for the independents to form some kind of cooperative to buy in bulk as the bigboxes?  ]]>
