I can think of a couple of ways to do it.

Once wifi is available on the device, it's simple -- the customer connects to an instore wifi hotspot and downloads. Selections can be made from a list at a kiosk, and paid for by credit card. Once the charges are authorized, the customer connects via wifi and downloads the purchases.

For devices without wifi, the solution might be a kiosk for selection, with books copied to an SD card dispensed by the kiosk.

We'll see.
