To the author it is a lost sale.
And if you're looking for a specific title and don't find it there are other things to do with the time, money, and attention. Movies, tv, video, a nice bike ride...
That is why windowing doesn't work for books.
Books don't exist in a vacuum and most don't have a "book budget" but rather an entertainment budget.
