My point is not that there is no point to a bookstore. I go to bookstores a lot, to browse, and to buy PRINT books, but not to buy ebooks which, of course, I can't handle or fondle the way I can a "dead tree" (an awful term, regularly and derogatorily used by a number of people in this forum) volume. I do see people in bookstore cafes with their own computers, which they can use to buy ebooks - they do not need to use one provided by the bookstore itself - which also means that they don't have to be physically present in the bookstore to do so.
