But some people still want to buy some things locally. Not everyone buys into the "just send it back if you don't like it" argument, and some want to resolve problems or ask questions face to face. There are probably other reasons as well.

Well this obviously is true for USA. But in Europe you still buy a cat in the bag (so we say) and sending it back is costly. I really wish I could walk into a shop here and have a look at a Kindle. Paperwhite if possible. But maybe not, I would have bought it immediately
so maybe it's good they are not available and not at hand (my credit card sighs with relief)
