Just going on my own experience, we used to go to the bookstore a couple times a year. We spent a couple hours, and spent about $250. I have not been in a bookstore since I got my kindle. The combination of getting books from the library at 2 am and buying books from Amazon with immediate delivery has made the whole "cafe" experience unappealing. Why would I drive 10 minutes, look for a parking place, look for a seat in the cafe, etc, etc. I'm sorry, but Amazon's 2-day shipping has completely changed my life. No longer are my weekends filled with errands. If Amazon has it, it gets delivered.
