That's certainly true but how often do you really go to the bookstore in search of this thrill? The keyword here is "browsing". That's better done at a physical bookstore than online. But it's much more efficient to buy books online. I often went to a bookstore looking for some kind of book I couldn't find there but could have ordered immediately online. I like doing both, at different times though.
