Yes it's not perfect, but then there could be other reasons as well.
Such as people may already be at the bookstore or shopping centre or shopping precinct.
It could be potentially cheaper than online alternatives (maybe I don't know for sure).
Some people just aren't comfortable putting their financial details online (especially with these days the amount of site hacking going on).
A loyalty thing as well could be generated out of it, many people aren't ready for the physical shop to die.
