I still get some of that when I find old backlist books are available as ebooks.
But yeah, almost all of the joy of going to the bookstore (new or old) is gone since I switched to ebooks. I go to the mall far less than I used to and Half Price Books almost never.

I lived at the library as a kid and I still love (loved) walking around, browsing, checking out the stacks.

I still take my kid to the library. When I go, I usually just sit somewhere and read on my Kobo. I still like the library, but again: it's just not the same.
Yet I wouldn't want to switch back. Some things are lost. Other things are gained.
