You can still go to the library and read paperbooks. There are plenty of folks who read ebooks and paperbooks. My Mom is one of them.
I agree, the online shopping experience is not as easy or fun as going to a book store but if you know that there are authors that you like then you can do searches for them. Amazons algorithims ar epretty good, pretty soon you will be getting recommendations based on what you bought that should be pretty good.
Remember, you can download a sample from many books and get a feel for it. So read the sample, see if you like it. If you do, buy the book. If you don't, don't.
Based on what you are describing, I would say you live in an area where it can be hard to get to a bookstore and the library probably has a good but not great selection. An e-reader where you can shop on line could open doors for you. Ask your librarian for recommendations based on what you currently read. Heck, ask in the forums here.
As for the tactile thing, try sitting in your favorite chair with a cup of tea (or your favorite beverage) and just read. You sound pretty focused on the format. Just let yourself read and don't worry about the medium.
