I have a Barnes and Noble near work. Sometimes for lunch, I'll take my sandwich, get a cup of coffee and browse books. Like the OP, I too like to browse book stores, but if I find something I like, I'll snap a picture and buy the ebook later. I don't think I've bought a physical new book in years. I just recently retired (back still working as a consultant) and I'm trying to downsize. I just recently gave a whole book shelf of books a way, that I'm tired of keeping around. I kept textbooks, nonfiction, and classic fiction, the rest went out the door.
I also like browsing used book stores. I have picked up a few OOP books in those that are not ebooks.
