A possible reason that it wouldn't be carried is because they can't compete with the prices. A possible reason the FLGS or LGS does not exist is because of the fact they can't sell material if it's available considerably cheaper as PDF.

But I am reminded of the Goodman post/article recently, where he said that WotC did a lot for gaming stores with their policies and Paizo is attracting more people to their online store and away from the gaming store.

In the end, I am not sure I should ... well, care? I don't go to my (F)LGS, though I do order online in a FRGS (Friendly Remote Gaming Store) that is a FLGS to others.
I take from the prices that Paizo is making its primary income from its subscriptions, and the Pathfinder book might be a kind of "loss leader" at best. It stands to wonders how much money WotC does with DDI and if they could do something similar, or if there are structural differences?

I am tempted to buy the PDF for 9,99, just to say what it's all about. I bought Exalted 2e or Changling for a way higher price without ever expecting to play it, too.
