i used to buy paper versions all the time but now that i have my kobo i don't. i was in a chapters over the weekend and people were sitting in chairs reading the books, wouldn't that be the same thing?
i had my kobo and no one came up to me, i just sat there and read and drank my coffee.
so what do they say to the people that come in three times during the week and pick the same book up and finish it without ever purchasing it?
i also hang out at my local chapters and browse books, i never hang out in it though since i live close (the previous mention was out of town) but i look around to see what i'd like to buy in ebook format.
i even have my phone out and hooked up to the kobo store and add books to my library that seem worth checking out. the ease of browsing paper books and reading the prologue or back is probably what makes it more appealing. i buy from kobo / chapters online so i have no problems of browsing purely to buy online.
