See, my world is different. Nobody I know acts that way, and I don't believe your siblings do either. When you went to a Border or B&N, you would be looking for a few things, often finding none or few, but also looking for something new. You probably always left with something.
And we do that with the Fire too. In a few cases, we want a specific something - the next Terry Pratchett, or the next in some other series - but usually people already are reading many. I doubt Amazon will suffer.
Example, I read to my wife nightly. Currently, most evenings, it's a Jewish joke book. (She's Jewish.) We didn't really care
which such book. That's how it works.
