I agree with darylbrayman - "browsing" through eBook stores is not the same as going to a good bookshop. I think my main problem with eBook stores is the fact that there is an inordinate number of romance and/or techbooks available, and quite often you see books from young/unknown authors flooding the category sections.
I'd like to be able to click a "only list well-known authors" button or something ... I can't read too often, and I'm not in the mood to "experiment".

Also, there is a really neat bookstore right beside where I work that specializes in crime, thriller and horror, and every day I walk past and get to see awesome covers of books I know I want to read. It kind of makes me sad that I can't support this guy because I just can't bring myself to read a pBook. I did buy a couple as presents for friends and family.
