Do you still go to bookstores?

Here in the Philippines, I know three bookstores, National Bookstore, Fully Booked and Powerbooks. When I was young, there was also Goodwill Bookstore where I used to buy my school supplies and some of my text books. Last time we visited a bookstore was last week at Fully Booked. I think their collection is better than the others. I found their books, especially on the children section, more entertaining and educational. The downside is that they have less when it comes to quantity. These days, when information can be easily acquired from internet, more people tend to go to internet cafe rather than the bookstores when they have to do research. However, I think bookstores remain to be essential because of the books they sell and some even sell school supplies and magazines. How about you? Do you still go to bookstores? What bookstores are there at your place?

I still go to bookstores if i happen to come by to the mall ,since it is only there i find bookstores. I just love it inside there. There are a lot of books to read or buy, and have lots of genre to choose from.
