Well that's not what I was hoping for. I want to see bookshelves - like in the physical store. I want to go to a section (sci-fi, fantasy, cooking, whatever) and browse the bookshelf, with a rendered cover.

Then, I want to click on that cover and read the back of the book, on the book jacket. A sample of a page or two would be nice, but for me it's unnecessary. Finally, buttons to purchase the treepub, epub, audiobook, etc. are all fine - keep that experience digital.

I keep visiting physical bookstores for this reason. Book discovery online is nowhere near as fun, as it was in a physical store.
