I know! I'm really glad to see them going in the right direction with this. I'm a little wary, though, because I am afraid that perhaps the UBS vendors might suffer for it. I don't even know how, I just know that the Big Scary Internet is probably, by default, not being especially generous to its 'partners' as a general rule.
I do try to check my local, physical UBS and I certainly buy lots of books for myself and as presents (9 nieces and nephews for whom I refuse to buy anything but book-related gifts, and when you give a book as a gift you want it to be in reasonably good physical condition which you have confirmed with a visual inspection) there, but it is nice to have the wider selection which something like Amazon can offer when I'm looking for more obscure items.
