Displaying your book in a big chain bookstore... these days, that's about the only thing the "professional" publisher can do that the small or amateur writer/publisher cannot. Every other marketing technique--media ads, recommendations, lists, social media, TV and library appearances--can be accomplished by anyone with enough time, influence and/or money.
And that's why the big pubs are holding onto the physical bookstores: It's the only area in which they can isolate themselves from other products.
