I'm not sure there's anything new about this. The difference now is that it's so much easier and faster to wade through a ton of garbage to find books you want.

In the days of book stores it was a bit more fun, walking among the isles, looking at this book and that and sometimes finding one you want to read. I did that when I had enough books already, just because I loved the browsing.

Now I browse on a web page or on my Kindle and it's still fun but not as much as in a book store. I still do plenty of it even though I'm stocked up with enough books for the coming 3 or 4 centuries at this point.

I don't believe there is any shortage of good ways to search for books. I'm sure other, and possibly better ways will come along but things are pretty good right now.
