In my perfect world... you could browse at your local bookstore to your heart's content and pick out your books. If you need an ebook format, they can sell it to you instead of the paperback or hard cover (your receipt has a code to download from the publisher's site; when you do that step, the store gets charged their lesser fee for the ebook).
I love browsing in book stores, I give my local bookstore business (I wouldn't even mind paying a bit higher than to Amazon), publisher gets money who gives author their money, it's win/win, everyone should be happy.
Ok, back to reality where there's not a chance in hell and all my frolicking unicorns have disappeared.
