Maybe this has already been articulated, but the whole concept of 'browsing' a 
store for a book site seems flawed to me. I can't remember the last time I 
browsed a bookstore looking to stumble on an interesting book (I love books, 
bookstores, and the general ambiance, however browsing a bookstore is a 
recreational activity for me, not a practical one). Usually I approach buying 
books as a goal-oriented task. I know what I want, or what kind of book I want, 
and so forth. Amazon's book-bundling, other similar books, reader feedback etc. 
are far more useful to me than the novelty of 'moving' digitally from shelf to 
shelf.

Sorry to say, it seems like a solution solving a problem I don't think I (or 
most book-buying people) have.

<So it was neat to use but would I use it to buy my next
book...probably not.  I would rather see related books together or
other things like recommendations or comments which I feel Amazon
does very well hence I will go there instead.>
