Most of the time, I don't go to the bookstore with a particular book in mind. Instead, it's a Saturday morning and the weather is nice, so I want to go for a walk somewhere. The bookstore is a good choice, and maybe I'll find an interesting title there. If my bookstore shuts down, I lose one more important walking destination. Unfortunately I can't buy that experience on Amazon, even with same-day shipping. This might be a condition particular to walkable cities, though. I wouldn't drive to a bookstore. Of course Bookshop doesn't help here either, but if it can keep their doors open then I'll be able to keep walking through them...
