I was even thinking smaller. Like mall kiosks in the walkways where you see the various stalls. Entrance to malls outside. Busy street corners 800 sq ft or so. Located near Starbucks or similar. Lease space in supermarkets and department stores. Keep them small and flexible. Short term leases only.
Make books an impulse items. Put the latest books in window displays. Cater to local preferences.
Bookstores as "destinations" work for some but not everyone. How far would you drive to go to a bookstore? Too far and people turn to the internet.
