For about a decade, I used to live very close to a Barnes and Noble, and almost as close to a Half-Price Books used book store. I'd go to each about once a week and browse around. Bought loads of books from Half-Price books (probably more than 1000 over 10 years), and a handful from Barnes and Noble. Definitely found lots of books I never would have found on Amazon. OTOH, there are lots of books I've bought from Amazon that I couldn't find in either of those bookstore either, but those tend to be specialized. I never browse Amazon for books, I wouldn't even know how to do that in any way that wasn't just a pain in the ass.
