Unless they're long-standing B&N store customers for whom buying books via the Internet is always a second choice. Granted, my view is skewed by location, but this particular group is not insignificant around NYC.

The point is, trying to generalize about the buying public and attribute any kind of characteristic to them is futile without having either solid data or an obvious connection. By solid data, I mean a good survey, which itself is fraught with uncertainty. By obvious connection, I mean that I wouldn't challenge the assertion that most subscribers to Golf Digest are golfers.
