How can you seriously tell what a book is gonna be like by flipping through a few pages anyway?
The online experience is much better for me.

I don't understand this. How is it better to browse in a setting where you can't tell the length of what you're buying and often don't have access to even a few pages to flip through, and if you do, they're the first few pages; no flipping to the middle of a nonfic book and seeing if their charts are useful to you?

I DO buy pbook gaming books (for tabletop RPGs) and I make an effort to goto our local bricks and mortar gaming store. He's friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable of his products and I'm happy to pay a bit over the odds vs online for that.

I mostly buy PDF gaming books these days. If I want a paper copy for the charts and to share with other gamers, I'll print them out myself; I no longer prefer reading the book on paper.
