Bored & Noble.
One more book. Plenty of shelf space.
Bored & Noble is a bookshop for the pleasure of browsing a reading pile. Its books have fictional titles, authors and blurbs, with covers made for the game. Start with a genre, inspect a book that catches your eye and read its opening pages before deciding whether it belongs in the bag.

A catalogue written for this pretend world
The shelves include fiction, mystery, romance, science fiction and fantasy, self-help, cookbooks and more. Genre pages give you a smaller shelf to explore, while the Top 100 view is another route through the catalogue. These are game books, not a shop selling real editions.
Look inside, then choose a format
Book pages include opening text and available formats. Look inside for a sample of the fictional book, and check the selected format before adding it to the bag. The sample is part of the browsing experience; buying a title does not promise delivery of a real book or a complete ebook.

These shortcuts open the actual department or page inside Empty, so you can try the parts described above.
Before you switch on
