That would all depend on whether they were just browsing or looking for something in particular. If they're just browsing, then yes, they'll likely pick something else up. If they're looking for the newest Stephen King or J.D. Robb book and it's not there, they'll look for it elsewhere. If no one did that, and they always ended up buying something, anything from the store they're currently browsing, why would Amazon cave and put back the Macmillan buy buttons after 24 hours? Wouldn't Amazon have ended up winning the war pre-Agency model if they'd just toughed it out and waited for all their customers to buy other products, showing Macmillan they didn't really need their books in the Amazon store after all?
