Most shops will also deliver the book to your house without charge (a recent development, because of Amazon...)
But unfortunately you pay through the neck for this with fixed ebook pricing.

Also, as I said previously, an Amazon physical store of 5,000 books or even less which offers 1 hour (or less) delivery in store or at home from Amazon's online catalogue comes very close to a physical store stocking all of these titles.
