And when the good Seattle camera shop goes out of business because too many customers are trying a few and then buying on-line - and then you have no camera store available to provide samples or advice - or your local bookstore folds because of skim-here-but-buy-from-Amazon shoppers - what then?
I can't pontificate against your buying practices, Cally - I do it myself (although I do try to buy many of my books from our excellent local independent) - but I think we have to realize that, sooner or later, there won't be any "good" shops around for comparison shopping and hefting purposes. Then what?
