It still seemed silly to me. At the time it spoke of desperation on Waterstones part to be 'relevant' what they failed to understand is that most people who go into a bookshop don't do it to get a ereader. When i go in with hubby he is looking at non fiction history books and I find a chair and get out my ereader. I never bother to look at the shelves, they don't sell the books I read anyway.
