Everything I stated above about books, also holds true for many other items such as CD's and toys. The fact that it doesn't cost any effort nor any waiting anymore takes away from the experience to acquire something.
Previously, finding and getting the item was half the fun for many people.
Now you just go: "Click. Type. *Lord of the Rings* Enter. Click, Click, Click. Type. Click." Read. (The same goes for many physical items, which can be shipped overnight if ordered before 21:00; some stores even go as late as 0:00. Order at 23:47, get item delivered at 9:21...)
Faster? Yes. More convenient? Yes. Cheaper? Probably.
Still, it misses "something".
