Yes! Yes! I totally agree. But (there just had to be one
) I do find that walking into a brick & mortar bookshop is a whole different experience than browsing an online bookshop. Both get me salivating, don't get me wrong. But I do love walking into a bookshop. The smell, the colourful covers (I love the travel book section), the picking up and doing a bit of reading, the feeeeeeel of the books....Then I will memorise the titles/authors that I'm interested in and will try to find the books in an e-book version
Basically in my ideal future, there'd be an offline paper-based bookshop as a sort of catalogue and I'd do my actual reading on my device! But perhaps that's too weird....
