If I was still buying pbooks at a B&M, I wouldn't have a problem switching to buying pbooks online.

Independents all together have been reported at less than 5% and B&N is down to 10% or less (stores and online).
Amazon alone accounts for 45-50%. A big chunk of the rest is Costco and Newstands, especially Hudson at airports. And in many places non-essential businesses are being shut down, even the low traffic ones.
Being willing to buy pbooks online won't get you much if Amazon isn't stocking them. Their announced position is thst as non-essential products ship tbey won't be replaced in the warehouses.
