i can agree with you on some points. i think its fine to go to bookstores and read. i do it all the time. however, i hate seeing people eat over books, getting crumbs and tea stains in them; the worst part is them bending the spine. it may just be me, but the best part about of buying a new book is breaking in the spine myself! i don't want to buy a book that is already broken in.
anyway, i got to my local bookstore and read almost everyday. i normally read my favorite magazines for free. however, i also have a membership card, and i buy books almost twice a month. i am a good customer and i always come back for purchases so the staff never has a problem with my raiding their magazines lol. and i would never eat over a book. that is just so gross. no one wants to buy stained, greasy books at full price.
