I don't think the raw number of titles matters. What it comes down to is, "I want THIS book. Who has it, and at what price?"
This is why I'm in favor of the most open format available, which right now seems to be epub. If you're looking for a particular title, the more stores it might be in, the better your chances of finding it and the lower the price is likely to be.
It doesn't matter how much stuff you don't care about a store has. (Man, is that an awkward sentence or what?) What are you looking for, and who has it, and how much does it cost? That's all that matters. It could be that a relatively small store caters to your kind of material, and if so, that might suit your needs perfectly.
The internet is amazing to me not just because of the sheer volume of material available, but because, if you have a special interest, the chances are good you'll find a website devoted to that interest.
