I would say that it is perhaps short sighted not to purchase at least something if you enjoy browsing in a book store. Otherwise, the book store will eventually go out of business. This sort of thing has been going on a long time. Back before the Internet, people use to browse the computer stores and then mail order what they wanted.
Back when I was still going to the local B&N, I had the conundrum of wanting to browse the store to see what was new, but preferring to be ebooks rather than dead tree books. If I saw a book that I liked, I would check to see if the ebook was available, and if it wasn't buy the dead tree book. If B&N had a decent supply of ebooks at the time, they would have gotten more of my business. I felt bad about it, but not bad enough to buy dead tree books when ebooks were available.
