Tell me, do you feel like you should pay to open a book in the book store? If not, what is the difference?

The copyright holders permission is implicitly given when they send the books to the store perhaps? Maybe not, as Amazon does not have peak inside without permission AFAIK and it wouldn't apply to used bookstores.
Different implied rights apply to books in a physical container such as paper though as I am sure you know.
