I know it's "Judging a book by it's cover" but I loved going to the new release shelf and seeing what the store thought was new and I discovered some authors by spotting books on the General Fiction section and the Sci Fi section.
I love Amazon but the Barns and Noble web site does a better job of showing New books this week and NY Times best sellers.
I do not discover many new books on Amazon as they only show 3-9 recent releases they choose to promote.
So I miss the 'discovery' of new books in a bookstore, or the thrill of the bargain shelf. For some reason the "$3.99 and under" pages at Amazon is not as fun.
