That is exactly how I feel.
On occasion when I am in the store anyway, I will browse the racks at Walmart or the grocery or drug store to see what new offerings are available. It is still easier to pick up the book or magazine, read the blurb, glance at a few pages than to do a more extensive search online. I then make a note of the interesting titles and check them out more later.

It has been months if not more than a year since I have been in a large bookstore.
