I'm not sure I agree. I only read ebooks. I could picture myself going into an independent bookstore, browsing the selection, finding a book I like, bumping my phone against it to purchase it, and it shows up on my reader later.
Of course, I've probably only been in one independent book store in the past 20 years.
