Are There Books Better Online Or At The Actual Store?

I love to read so of course I have tons of books and want to buy more. I know the books online are cheaper than the ones at the store but which way is it better?

The short answer is that it doesn't really matter--since if a book is available online you can order it online and pick it up at the store; see http://bit.ly/24vPfsY. Alternatively, if the online price is less you can probably get the online price for a book you're buying at the store, just by requesting it. (This is the policy at most companies that have both ways of selling their wares, and it most likely applies at B&N.)

Usually it's better online,but it doesn't really matter because whatever books they sell online will most likely be in stores and the other way around. Hope that helps.
