bibliophoney 

One who browses bookstores because they prefer the feel of real books, but ultimately purchases the book on their smart phone as they leave the store.

Bookstore clerk 1: that guys such a bibliophoney, he's just browsing not buying.

Browsing the Kindle store is not as much fun as strolling around the Borders bibliophoning
