Over the years I've actually done the opposite. I'll read reviews on books I'm interested in on Amazon and go to a local bookstore to buy it. I appreciate the book reviews but I'm impatient and want the book now.
The iPad and iBookstore have changed my behavior slightly in that I can both read the reviews and buy the (e)book at the same time. I'm still buying mostly physical books because I love the weight and feel of books but I'm starting to gradually switch.

Great point, I didn't even think about this while reading the article but your comment made me realize I do this a lot.
- ja27 15y agoI've done this quite a few times. If Amazon has the book for 40+ percent off and the bookstore has it for full retail, it's hard to overcome that though. Borders and their constant 25-40% discount coupons also made it hard for me to consider buying any but the cheapest books without that deep of a discount.
