Maybe you have lost focus on this thread.
The question was is it ethical to use a bookstore as your research facility for the book you buy online.
The question is not how to run a successful retail business.
The discussion all about NOT spending any money at the retailer, just USING his resources to help you make a decision what you are going to buy from SOMEONE ELSE.
I'm not defensive. I ran an extremely successful retail business for many years, and if I were to go back into it, I guarantee you it would be successful again.
You cannot stay in business however if no one buys from you - which is the premise of this thread.
