Questions

Which city's bookstores are least likely to list a website?

Among the cities with a full list, Brisbane has the lowest share of bookstores with a website on the map (22%) and Seattle the highest (79%). Map coverage varies by city, so treat this as a signal for where outreach about websites has room, not as a census.

Where does this bookstores data come from?

From OpenStreetMap, the volunteer-built world map, using the tags shop=books. Each city list is cut to the official city boundary and refreshed from a recent extract. The licence is the Open Database License, so you can reuse it with credit.
