But when I really want to sit down and learn something, I still run down to Barnes & Noble and get a book.

What do you really want to learn? Java in 7 Days? Investing for Dummies?? Barnes & Noble is about entertainment, not education. If you want to really advance your knowledge in a field, you either need to go to a campus bookstore and drop a few Franklins on 30 lbs of textbooks or go online.
