You know, I never really thought about that. Now that I think about it, many's the time I've gone to the bookstore to get BookX and ended up buying BookY (and sometimes BookZ, BookA and BookB
).
But that's the problem with online bookstores in general - not just eBooks. You can't really browse the selection. They are really good at letting you find the book you want if you know the title, but it's pretty hard to go to Amazon.com and find the book you want if you only have a vague idea of what you want. That's why I still go to physical bookstores once in a while.
