To those who feel it is unethical to browse at a B&M then purchase from Amazon, I hope you do not read reviews, specs, and recommendations on Amazon when intending to make a purchase at a B&M. Amazon paid for the infrastructure to provide you with that information.
To those who are worried about displacing the B&Ms, please remember that these very same B&Ms had a different perspective when they were crushing the Mom & Pops that preceeded them.
Perfect execution of the marketplace is constant upheaval with smarter people using better processes to bring us greater value. This is a good thing. I know this because my TV is as big as my father's movie screen and cost only a little more than my first calculator. Best of all, I was able to purchase it while sipping coffee in my underwear at 3:00am.
B&Ms have a GREAT advantage over web stores. They can be everything a web store can be plus they have the opportunity to make their sales pitch to you in person.
