I love doing that myself…. But only if the bookstore is Barnes & Noble, or Books-a-Million, one of the mega-chain stores with an embedded coffee bar — instead of an old-school bookstore that only, you know, sells books.
But… you can do that with an e-reader in a bookstore, too. Barnes&Noble among several others allow you to download a book and read it as much as you want IN the store, but it vanishes once you leave the store’s signal. Nice idea, IMHO

If you want to read a book without buying it go to the library.

I have problems in bookstores- I want to buy them all! So many books, so little time….

Chapters allows people to sit and read without buying. Grubby fingerprints. Though the Starbucks people in the store are very nice.
