I live in one of those small towns and we still have a local bookstore. It's not BIG, but it's nice. But, even so, I so much prefer reading electronic books that I'm no longer buying paper. And I too don't miss the tiny fonts and having to carry 2+ dozen hardcovers when we travel.
There will be books on paper for a long time to come, but for just reading for pleasure, especially books that won't be read and re-read, e-books will be increasingly popular.
