I think Amazon is the best online book browsing experience for me, but it doesn't equal a physical store.

I like to shop, I find it to be a break from my life - I enjoy going to bookstores and browsing - if I could buy an ebook after browsing, it would make the process even more enjoyable.
Actually Barnes & Noble has been doing it "sort of" for about a month. They supply free WiFi in the store which allows you to shop their store and then purchase from the online store of your choice. Since they own Barnes & Noble.com, Fictionwise and eReader.com they profit either way.

My description is probably too simplified, but...... You get the idea.
