Thinking about it now, I can see where 90% of the book marketing might happen inside the bookstores. Since I bought my ereader 5 months ago, I think I've been into a bookstore maybe twice.
It must be getting close to 10 years since I went into a book shop. They didn't have the book I wanted, so I bought it online. Haven't really been back in one since.
