I never thought of time spent in bookstores as time wasted.
What I wish is that I'd not carried over my pbook buying habits to the etherworld. It made sense to have a substantial backlog of pbooks, so that not only would I always have something to read, I'd always have a selection so I could suit the mood of the moment. This is, as we know, unnecessary with on-demand buying. But I still seemed to have the same level of "what will I read next?" insecurity, compounded by the lack of the physical brake created by stacks of books.
Yeah, I know, bargains. But only if they get read at some point!
