However, there is a certain type of book buyers, who would love to walk-in the physical bookstores and browse through the different categories of bookshelves to find their favorite books.

Such category of people would buy books using the online facilities offered by their favorite bookstore or the bookseller who offers the cheapest price for that book. Also finding books in an online bookstore is easy with the website search engine provided by those bookstore websites.
