As much as I am sad that bookstores around me are closing, I am part of the problem. I read ebooks almost exclusively nowadays, and there are few things that would move me back to physical books. I don't know what bookstores could do to draw me back. I do love going to bookstores, but only browse nowadays, and am not really a "paying customer." I'm sure I'm not the only one there just browsing who then goes home and grabs the ebook version of something that caught my eye on a shelf.
