If you want to be shopping with PayPal and you like to purchase books online try Amazon.
That option works great.
Also, when you go to payPal.com, they have a list of their merchants. Search from the shopping tab on the main page, before you log in.
From Here:
https://cms.paypal.com/ca/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=ca_shop/shops
You have different options to search for places to shop using PayPal.
Including cross border shopping and PayPal's featured stores.
Additional you can search from here by putting in a search string
http://paypal.thefind.com/
This way you can search the type of PayPal stores that you prefer and shop there as well.
This is what I got back from searching simply "Books"

I know the frustration online when wanting to shop but not everyone uses PayPal at their check out. Sometimes you can't even tell if the site offers Paypal unless you go ahead and test the check out.
This is so frustrating.
Hope this helps.
If you message me, I can give you the heads up on another way to find payPal shops and save cash back on your purchases.
Blast me off a message and I will get right back to you. All accept PayPal, many categories.
Hope you accept my friend request.
Best to you.

Hi Haloman, You are very welcome. I am glad to help. I know the frustration of trying to do your shopping online, searching, comparing and then choosing, only to then find that the merchant doesn't accept PayPal.
One thing you can do, is when you find those sites that you would of purchased from otherwise, write and tell them so.
tell them the benefits of using PayPal, they are loosing business not offering that payment option and use your PayPal referral link.
You can earn I think up to $10,00 for each merchant you refer and who sign up and uses Paypal.
Just a tid bit of info. Best to you!

Hi Haloman! Actually, thousands of online stores accept PayPal as the method of payment.
Here is a link to the ones that PayPal itself lists.

Good luck shopping and I hope you find what you want Haloman!
