I think you're spot on. I wish I had places like that near me, at least for books (I imagine the comic shops would if I ever went). Comics too must be hurting from online; now that I've started getting into comics, the price disparity between digital and print is much higher than it is for books. At least with the screen on my iPad, quality doesn't suffer, either.

I mean, how can a local shop compete with this?
