There's this book store in my area that is run out of out a big, creaky 19th century house. There is no security. There is usually one employee on
duty at all times, but they remain stationary at the desk and leave all of the customers alone unless they approach the desk. They are completely
overstocked, and I doubt they would notice if one or two of their books went missing, especially if there are multiple copies of the same book and edition on the shelf. Sometimes I will go in there, buy one paperback, and line my coat pockets with two or three more. Then I walk out the door with a smile on my face. They would never suspect the guy who actually buys stuff. It's the perfect crime.

Obviously not. They ridiculously overcharge for used books (8 dollars for a mass market paperback with cracks down the spine? fuck that) and they
take a lot of donations, too, so it's not like they're really LOSING money.

Though, even if I didn't have any justifications for my thievery, I would still steal because of the thrill I get when I do it (and the money I save, too; reading is an expensive hobby.)

Stealing from chain bookstores is so incredibly easy. Just elevate the item above the censor as you walk out. It's not like the teenage cashier or whichever other deadbeat employee watching cares enough to take note of the theft. It's not their money.

I have never done this, but since the cashiers usually don't care, you could probably put some books in your coat while buying something cheap. Of course, you would then proceed to exit the store, and the buzzer would go off, but you just have to wave your item you just bought in the cashiers face -- and that's if they even ask you about anything. In lots of stores, the employees don't even care if the alarm goes off. I actually had a barnes and noble gift card at one point that I realized was setting off the alarm whenever I entered or exited the store... On a few occasions i realized that I could have been carrying books out, since the cashiers just "okayed" me when I gave them a puzzled look after setting off the alarm.

I do. I steal from everywhere. My shelves are full of library books because I steal them from the shelves, and whenever I move house I take out lots of books and keep them.

There's a second-hand bookshop near where I live and there's an old lady who runs it and all you need to do is say hello to her and she always trusts you as a fellow bibliophile. The shop's like a maze and she's got no line of sight - it's a joke really.

One time I was coming out and she said something like "didn't find anything you like?" and I told her nothing I could afford [sad frog face] and she gave me a copy of The Doors of Perception for free "just to keep me going". I had about 5 stolen books in my backpack so I couldn't even fit it in. I just took it off her and smiled and walked out.

Nobody from Barnes and Noble will ever stop you from stealing a book... even if the alarm goes off. They won't even call the police.

They specifically tell their employees not to stop theft (except in the separate cd/dvd section). They don't really make money off book sales. The real money is in the overprice cafe. You can seriously just pick up a book and walk out the door with it. It doesn't matter.

I personally am an absurdist. I don't assert moral authority nor hold any. Someone who jumps when an accusation is thrown at them certainly acts quickly to throw them right back.

You're a moron. We don't need to know you. If you're a troll, you're still a moron, just in a different way.

OP here, he's probably a bit of a troll but if you've ever verbally uttered the sentence "I personally am an absurdist," so are you.

I don't understand, what's wrong with absurdism?

I'll give that my sentence structure was poor, but I don't really give much thought to my posts.

I think the complaint was the price of the book in general on both Amazon and waterstones.

Are you the militant manager of waterstones that posted here months ago trying to get us back int your shitty store?

Not very well, nope. PDFs are the worst format there is. Ipads or your desktop computer are your best bet.

Yes they can. However, because of the non-floating ways of pdfs, the Kindle can't re-arrange paragraphs. It's OK when you flip the screen sideways, but a bigger pad might be a better thing.

I've stolen plenty of books from chain stores, but you, sir, are the biggest faggot i've seen on 4chan in days--quite the accomplishment! go back there, buy a cheap paperback, pay with a twenty, tell her "keep the change, and thanks for The Doors Of Perception" or you are a shitty pole-smoker for life.

Use calibre to convert pdf's and it's all fine and dandy. If you have a Kindle download Calibre asap, great for managing your kindle.

Don't steal from bookstores, they have a hard enough time as it is. Just buy boring books nobody wants cheap from used stores. I recently got 4 books for £9.50, even though most looked annoying. Oh well.

Here's a Protip: At most Barnes and Noble-type shops, the books have a metal detector strip wedged somewhere in the middle of the book. Take it out BEFORE you attempt to shoplift.
