You gotta check it out, but bring a little money, you won't walk out of there empty-handed... I buy almost exclusively used books there--such deals!!!!

I just looked up Powell's. That place is crazy huge. It's nice to see an independent bookseller do so well in today's market, where people are "encouraged" to buy ebooks instead.
I personally prefer physical copies of books that I really enjoy because I like to collect. There's something special about being able to hold a book in your hands. But don't get me wrong... I love my kindle because I can tap on a word and look up its definition, but it's just a different experience to read a physical book.
