squeeeb, I'm not really sure I understand your objection to this.
If you don't like people reading at the bookstore, don't do it. What difference does it make to you if other people do? How does this negatively impact your life?
Clearly the staff and store owners don't particularly care. They create an environment conducive to such things. I can only assume that they've run the numbers and figured out that such an environment encourages more purchases and offsets the losses.
