I do this quite regularly, mainly because it is a lot more convenient to "browse" in book stores and taking a look at titles that seem interesting than using Amazon for the same purpose. I think that this is more of an UI failure on Amazon's part than an inherent advantage of physical stores, a failure that a competent designer or even someone who things rationally should be able to solve quite easily. Unfortunately I doubt we'll see an Amazon redesign proving my theory as long as any brick-and-mortar store is still standing.
