I think the important question for everyone going into a bookstore to browse is whether you find it a valuable experience, and whether you think you'll be worse off it you can no longer do it. If you think you'll be worse off, then you should be supporting the store by making purchases there, simply out of self-interest. You don't need to see it as an ethical or moral problem to decide whether it's okay for you to browse in a store and buy online. If you think you can live without the store when it goes away, then put it to the test first. Spend time buying online without visiting physical stores to get a better perspective on how valuable showroom browsing really is to you. Better to find out before it goes away.
