How come I can't go into a bookstore, get my consumer juices flowing, look at books, and then decide to buy a digital edition loaded on a cheap memory card, stuck to an appealing piece of cardboard and hanging from a peg? This would be one way to revitalize the bookstore, IMO.
I would so like this. Doesn't even need the memory card, could just be akiosk with a USB cable.

I really like bookshops. I detest buying ebooks, it is just hassle. They never have what you want, in a format my region is allowed to have. And of the things that I wasn't specifically looking for theres way way too much stuff I'm not interested in and no sensible way of filtering it. Bookshops allow you brouse sensibly, and then buy what you see. And they are just nicer all round.
