You've got a valid point, radleyp, but it seems that there are others who value the bookstore experience even with e-books (I'm one of them, as it happens
). I think that if it were possible to purchase e-books at a brick & mortar store, along side the paper ones, I'd be quite pleased about that, so I think that there very well may be room for them to co-exist, I hope so, anyway. In any case, only time will tell how it will play out, perhaps something totally unexpected will happen instead.
